For the next two weeks you can help us clear our shelves! We still have plenty of flip flops and summer shoes from Ethletic in our warehouse and we’d like to have them on your feet instead of standing on our shelves.
The roots of compassion blog! News about our online store, about us and whatever we want to share with you …
Maybe you’ve already discovered the blog Black Vegans Rock? It was started by Aph Ko, who has now written the book Aphro-Ism together with her sister Syl Ko. In this book you’ll find a lively, asccessible and provocative collection of essays on Pop Culture, Feminism, and Black Veganism. The two sisters provide new theoretical frameworks on race, advocacy for nonhuman animals, and feminism. Using popular culture as a point of reference for their critiques, they engage in groundbreaking analysis of the compartmentalized nature of contemporary social movements, present new ways of understanding interconnected oppressions, and offer conceptual ways of moving forward expressive of Afrofuturism and black veganism.
We’ve also added some stuff to our food range which might comfort your bellies. First of all, there are two new spreads by Sieben Linden Feinkost: Rocket Mustard Chili and
Spicy Parsnip. Yummy!
And second of all, there is something which might seem a bit strange to some of you: Soymilk Powder. But if you’ve ever travelled with your backpack or with your bike you might have an idea of what we’re talking about. It’s so annoying to carry a liter bottle of soymilk if you can have 100 g of this white powder instead!
What else? We have bigger tubes of black Allstar Gum and bigger vegan condoms (supermax), too. That’s it 🙂









We hope that you’ve read about the new art book Animal Utopia by the artist Hartmut Kiewert by now that we’re going to publish through our publishing house compasssion media in October. In both cases, here are some pictures by the artist that will be feautured in the book and are now also available on A2 posters in our shop.

We’ve been waiting desperately for the new book “Captive”by Jo-Anne McArthur. Her photographs are quite impressive but also sad. Watch the video for a first impression and support the amazing work by Jo-Anne McArthur.


We also have new stuff from Vio.Me, a collective from Thessaloniki in Greece, such as vegan washing powder made of ground white olive oil based soap. Using the powder you can easily make your own liquid soap or liquid laundry detergent, add any flavour you prefer and so on! You see where this is going, right? Another novelty is the glass cleaner which comes as a refill bottle.
Hell yeah, this is real. We’ve been looking for a choocolate spread that is vegan, organic, fairtrade AND free from palm oil and finally we found it. Not one, not two, but three! And they are delicious!
And last but not least something savory for everyone who’s not that much into sweets. The crackers in our shop are now made of spelt flour. You can choose between three flavors: olives, sundried tomatoes and rosmarin.
