1. Use your tech gadgets as a walking billboard

Since our bags, laptops and phones never leave our sides, this is a great opportunity to make a statement and use our trusty gadgets as an advocacy billboard.

If you don’t want to make the commitment to putting stickers on your laptop or phone just in case you change your mind or want to switch out for a new design, then you can opt for a noncommittal phone case.

2. Dress it up with advocacy pins

I use to collect pins as I travelled across Europe because they were inexpensive and super easy to carry around without taking any room in my luggage! Wear these pins on your school bag or pencil case and I’m sure they’ll spark up an engaging conversation. You can also buy magnet versions of these pins to put in your locker.

3. Customize your notebooks and binders

I remember clipping magazines and making collages to personalize all of my school notebooks and binders. Now it’s a whole lot easier, you can create an awesome design from your computer, print it, and insert it into your binder cover in a matter of minutes!

I found this works best with binders that have the clear sheet protector on the front and back covers so you can easily insert a sheet of paper and switch it out throughout the term.

If you’re not feeling so crafty and prefer to have one designed for you, Etsy is a great place to find instant downloadable prints and you can even ask for a custom one. Just be sure to adjust the page settings when it comes to printing them so they fit perfectly on your notebooks or binders!

You can also use stickers to personalize your school notebooks, if you’re buying them online, you’ll, unfortunately, have to wait for them to arrive in the mail as there isn’t an instant download option available.

4. Changing your computer’s desktop wallpaper

Going paperless? If you don’t have a notebook and instead use your laptop for note-taking then you can alternatively use your laptop’s desktop wallpaper to help get the message out!

Design something of your own, download some online for free, or purchase a design from Etsy for an instant download to replace your current wallpaper. Easy as vegan pie!

5. Sport a vegan statement t-shirt

Another option is using your chest as a vegan billboard with one of these 10 vegan apparel t-shirt brands.

6. Carry pamphlets and flyers with you at all times

You never know when someone in class may show interest in helping animals or switching to a plant-based diet, I always like to be prepared and have some literature ready if the time calls for it.
