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.
