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.


INFO TABLE AT EMU: SETA-volunteers are available around lunchtime (11 - 1:30) Mon. April 14th to Fri. the 18th to answer your questions about eating vegan. Sign up to take the vegan challenge, and we'll give you a button, a zine, a packet of info, and a snack to get you started.


***The vegan challenge is being hosted during UO's Earthweek to emphasize the increased sustainability of eating lower on the food chain. To be environmentally responsible and greatly lower your carbon footprint, eat plant-based foods, particularly organic and local.***
