National Vegetarian Week 21-27 May 2007

 

Brighten up your shop, restaurant or cafe and show how green you are with the Vegetarian Society’s National Vegetarian Week poster and leaflets. National Vegetarian Week Packs are free and have everything you need to celebrate the week, which runs from Monday 21 May to Sunday 27 May. The pack is available by calling 0161 925 2000 or order online via www.vegsoc.org/nvw

Everyone is talking about climate change so The Vegetarian Society is urging vegetarians to go even greener by eating seasonal, UK – grown produce for the fifteenth National Vegetarian Week.

Su Taylor, Press Officer at the Vegetarian Society said, “Please send the Society details of your plans for the week. You can register your event, information display, competition, special offers or promotions online at www.vegsoc.org/nvw. The media are always interested in what is happening around the country so make sure you register your event.”

National Vegetarian Week is co-ordinated by The Vegetarian Society but includes events and activities organised independently by local vegetarian groups, eateries, schools and businesses across the nation.
