Be a Hero. Take SETA's Vegan Challenge! (April 14th - 18th, 2008)
As part of UO's Earthweek, SETA is asking you to be a hero and take the Vegan Challenge. Spend a week eating for life! By enjoying a plant-based diet, you will:
** Save animal lives (both domestic and wild).
** Greatly reduce your carbon footprint.
** Boycott factory farming and the exploitation of other animals.
** Use less land, oil, and water. Cause less pollution.
** Eat plenty of healthy, good stuff.
SETA's Vegan Challenge week asks people to adopt a vegan diet for at least a week (any consecutive seven days you choose), enjoying plant-based foods instead of buying any animal's flesh, cow's milk, or chicken's eggs. This is a great chance to prove to yourself that you can live a healthy life without sacrificing anybody else's life or freedom.

Stephanie Boston, an organizer from Stumptown Earth First! The
Portland Animal Defense League, and Rising Tide North America will be giving an interactive presentation on breaking down systems of social and environmental oppression, and making links between radical ecofeminism and environmental ethics.
Stephanie recently completed the Radical Eco-Feminist West Coast Spring tour, presenting a two hour presentation with another womyn that recognizes "the need for radical analysis over reformist thinking- working to drastically change the system rather than working within it". The presentation also emphasizes the importance of animal liberation into the radical-feminist-environmental analysis.

Sustainability is not a trend; it is the social movement of our time. To embrace this social movement we must fundamentally transform the way we think. Through design we draw on difference to strengthen the link between our individual creativity, our society, and the environment. As we synthesize these currently disparate ecologies, we locate an intersection of values that can inspire our attitudes and actions.
Keynote Speakers: Natalie Jeremijenko, Randolph Hester, John Abrams, Eric Corey Freed, and Nate Cormier.
