Vegetarian Week 2008

Invitation to join

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 the World Vegetarian Day
October 04 is the World Animal Day.
