World Vegetarian Awareness Month -

October

World Vegetarian Day - October

1st

World vegetarian day

www.hknet.org.nz/VegeWVD.html

has been observed since 1977 bringing together vegetarians from all over the world for a common cause. It brings awareness to the ethical, religious, environmental, health, and humanitarian benefits of a vegetarian lifestyle. We're observing growing trends, especially since Foot and Mouth and Mad Cow diseases, but about one million people a year become vegetarians in the US alone, and millions in Europe, Australasia too. Everything that we are doing is making a difference, and every little bit helps.

Together we can all make a huge difference to the state of the world and the consciousness of all its peoples. Contacts for your local Hare Krishna temple or community are linked www.hknet.org.nz/index-int.htm and find out what they are doing, and or how you can get involved this year. Where you find any group trying to promote this noble cause please give your support.

Some ideas: stalls at stations, flyers on the street, radio programs, special programs at schools-colleges Uni-techs or Universities, Vegetarian Clubs/Socieities, invite family and friends to special dinners, programs at our temples, Food For Life's, Public food distribution, Advertisements in local and national newspapers, TV talk-back(s), Community Radio nationwide into the various communities it targets all over any given country.......do you have any other avenues we can target, have a good think, brainstorm with some friends - send me what you come up with, let me know what your doing so we can enthuse others and do likewise.

Please help us spread the word and make this a positively memorable event for the whole world.

In this news bulletin we're giving a few good links that will help everyone.
