For far too long, those that campaign on environmental matters have ignored the critical issue of animal agriculture, but that situation is swiftly changing! We predict that in years to come, the 8th December 2007 will be seen as the dawn of a new, more enlightened environmental movement. This new movement will fully embrace plant based diets as the solution to many of the catastrophies facing the planet. For anyone who really cares about the environment, the consumption of animal carcasses will become a distant memory and the natural progression from this will be veganism. The worlds first ever Veg*n Climate March is the catalyst for this change. Be there and be part of history!!

 

We`ll meet from 12 noon amongst the main climate marchers on Millbank(Westminster Tube). Don`t forget that 30,000 people are expected, so to be more specific, we`ll meet towards the northern end of the mass of people. That`s the end closest to Parliament Square.

 

We want to make as big an impression as possible on the other marchers, on the general public and with the media. Please make yourself some simple banners or placards, the bigger/bolder/more colourful the better, use your imagination! If you can`t think what your banner should say, use a slogan from the eco/climate leaflets produced by the national veggie/vegan groups or have a look at their websites. If you don`t carry a placard of some kind(and you don`t intend to leaflet either), nobody will know who you are and why you`re marching!!

 

There will be some eco veggie/vegan leaflets available on the day, but supplies may be limited compared to the number required, so please bring some with you if possible. All the national veggie/vegan groups produce excellent eco/climate leaflets. You will need to get in touch with them immediately so that they arrive in time.

 

If you havn`t yet arranged how to get to London, there are still seats left on the coaches that are travelling from towns and cities across the UK. You can find your local transport contact on the Campaign against Climate Change website www.campaigncc.org/local.html  

 

Whether you can attend this event or not, if you`re keen to get involved in eco veggie/vegan campaigning in the future, then you can stay in touch with us and join in with discussions in various ways.
