Vegetarian Week

[Guest guest]

Let's get involved and get as many other people/orgs to get involved

too!---Dan

 

EVANA calls upon all the organisations, companies and individuals to

promote a " Vegetarian week " , from October 01 to October 07, 2008. This

shall be an international campaign, and you are invited to get involved!

 

Why a Vegetarian Week?

Everyday is an excellent day to be a healthy and conscious vegetarian,

but October 01 to 07 is a nice opportunity to double our efforts and

campaign towards a better world:

 

October 01 is World Vegetarian Day

October 04 is World Animal Day.

October 04-05 is World Veg Fest in SF [County Fair Bldg at

9th/Lincoln...www.sfvs.org/wvd for details]
