PROJECTS AND CAMPAIGNS
The Vegetarian Society is an educational charity so we don’t
organise demonstrations or get involved in political party campaigns,
but we do
work in many different ways to promote understanding and respect for
vegetarian lifestyles.
|
Environment
Our environment campaign focuses on the ways that vegetarianism can help
reduce your environmental impact. Going and staying vegetarian can help
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, conserve water and land and preserve
important eco systems. To find out more read these pages and find out ‘why
it’s green to go vegetarian
|
Christmas
One of the most common questions meat-eaters ask vegetarians is “but
what do you have for Christmas dinner?” Well, apart from Turkey,
it could be more or less anything, so each year we promote exciting new
recipes to the press and offer free guides to anyone unsure of how to cater
for veggies at Christmas.
|
Fishconceptions
This educational campaign focuses on the common misconception that vegetarians
eat fish. We don’t and these pages give more information on what
we are doing to get that message out to the catering industry as well as
the general public.
|
Political Programme
Manufacturers, caterers and retailers often label food ‘suitable for vegetarians’,
but what does this mean? In law, very little! The Vegetarian Society wants to
see an enforceable, legal definition for the term vegetarian. Follow the link
to see how we are working towards this aim.
|
National Vegetarian Week
Our annual celebration of all things vegetarian usually takes place just before
the late May Bank Holiday. As the biggest week in the UK vegetarian calendar,
NVW includes all sorts of special events, activities and promotions, backed
up by a national press campaign reaching millions of people across the country. |
