Eco-activism | Animal Rights

Some of these pics are also on my Wikimedia Commons account http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Sigurdas *** Animal rights is not some faith in possibility of something to exist or not. Animal rights is more of a clear concept based on reality facts and is a moral and logical statement with a certain level of simple compassion intervened: "Animals are not our property. Like humans, they are sentient beings, and they feel pain." Please, think what you eat or what you wear. .......... Gyvūnų teisių aktyvizmo/filosofijos idėja yra pripažinti, kad gyvūnai nėra žmonių nuosavybė: jie turi savo teises į natūralų gyvenimą, į laisvę, į savo interesus. Gyvūnai nėra prekės - kaip ir žmonės, jie turi emocijas bei gali jausti skausmą. Šis aktyvizmas siekia parodyti, kad rušizmas, t.y. gyvūnų išnaudojimas vardan žmonių interesų, yra neteisingas, bei savo esmine forma niekuo nenusileidžia rasizmui, homofobijai ar seksizmui.

Mother Earth

Some of these pics are also on my Wikimedia Commons account http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Sigurdas *** The nature around us is simply beautiful and majestic, - we might not see it since we just stick to the cities, prioritizing our “rushing” and “running” everywhere, millions of things we don’t really need, tv, getting drunk, consuming what corporations tell us to consume, etc… But one can feel so extremely happy just by hanging out in the nature, putting one’s busy routine aside… and just...BEING.

Gay Pride Festivals

Pride Festival is an annual festival in Stockholm (since 1979) for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender minority. I visited it few times and managed to take a closer look at it. Please, respect everybody, no matter of what color or gender or sexual orientation one is. As it says on a T-Shirt on one of these pictures: "All love is good".

Illustrations

Most of these cartoons I drew during the creative sleepless nights - when I felt a need to either express my views, or just to let the hand go freely and draw whatever comes first to its flow... Some drawings (and/or their names) might make not much sense - it is because they are just a part of the articles I write on my Lithuanian blog veganas.wordpress.com.

Dumpster diving | Freegan

Some of these pics are also on my Wikimedia Commons account http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Sigurdas *** All this food and other stuff like various appliances, clothes, etc. have been thrown away by different stores and people, and later scavenged by me. Stores throw away food either because expiration date was yesterday (or so), or because smth was spilled on the package, or... there are many reasons but the fact is that about one third of all food produced in the world is being thrown away. Sadly enough, at the same time there are approximately 900 million people starving while having not enough food in their region... Note: day 1 was not the first day I went dumpster diving but the first day I started documenting my freeganism; I also DO NOT document all my finds - only most exciting ones. Location: Stockholm, Sweden (on some occasions there are other than Stockholm locations, too). More info on dumpster diving: http://trashwiki.org/

Nordkapp by (hitch-)hiking, 2002

My idea back then was to reach the northernmost point in Europe - Nordkapp - by hitch-hiking in winter. I had a diary where every person who'd give me a ride would sign in afterwards - I wanted it to be some sort of a proof that I did hitched to Nordkapp in winter. I was proud of myself but weak, and nearly lost my job in Germany back then (arriving from a "vacation" a way too late)...... LT: Nordkapas - šiauriausias Europos taškas (nors tai ne visai tiesa). Jis yra dabar visiems žinomas kaip „pasaulio galas“. Šis kyšulys yra 307 m aukščio, iš jo atsiveria šaltas vaizdas į Arktikos vandenyną. Iki šiol skaitau šią kelionę įspudingiausia savo gyvenime. Apie ją daug rašė spauda - tačiau kad ir kaip gražiai būtų aprašyta kelionė, tikro, realaus žavėsio neatstos jokie parašyti žodžiai - važiuokit patys į Nordkapą. Žiema?

Hitch-hiking!

Hitching a ride can be adventurous and fun, you can meet absolutely crazy and interesting people, and - sometimes your next ride would take you to the place much further of your planned destination! This is my absolutely favorite way of traveling (well, OK, I love hiking, too), I did it in 33 countries, and this is not the end yet! :) BTW, check out http://hitchwiki.org!
