We the Planet -- this Sunday!

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

Hope to see many of you on Sunday at our booth at We the Planet festival.

 

This is a *great* event to take your veg & non-veg friends too -- top notch

entertainment with Alanis Morissette, Bonnie Raitt, CAKE, and others -- with

wonderful speakers including Julia Butterfly Hill, Woody Harrelson, Flea &

Medea Benjamin. All the food at the event will be veg! Plus, Bay Area

Vegetarians will be there along with dozens of other non-profit

organizations :-)

 

We The Planet's message is simple -- to redefine cool. As Julia Butterfly

puts it " Why is everything good for us considered the alternative? We all

know that we live in a world full of problems, We The Planet aims to show

that we also live in a world full of solutions. With all that is going on

in our world today, more than ever, people are realizing that consciousness

is cool " .

 

At WTP, we're launching a new campaign -- come check it out in person on

Sunday! Will post details to the list next week.

 

Cheers,

Tammy

[sFBAVeg] Who's going to We the Planet?

 

 

Hi all,

 

If you're attending the We the Planet music concert in Golden Gate Park on

Sun 4/20, please come by and visit the Bay Area Vegetarians table! I'm

told our table will be next to the food area, near a very large GMO

chicken. The food at the event is all organic, all vegan (with the

exception of 1 item that has cheese). So come have pre-lunch, lunch, after-

lunch or pre-dinner with us :-)

 

We'll be having in interactive display on " Why Vegan " , " Why Not Vegan " and

would definitely encourage everyone to come and write down reasons for " Why

Vegan " !

 

Additionally, in talking with the WTP event organizers, they are

encouraging folks to buy tickets in advance, to eliminate waiting in long

lines the day of the events.

 

More details on WTP are below (including list of entertainers and URL for

more info/buying tickets)

 

Hope to see many of you on the 20th!

 

Cheers,

Tammy
