World GO VEGAN Days Mission Statement

The purpose of IDA's World GO VEGAN Days is to spread information and educate people about the vegan lifestyle, which is a compassionate way of eating and living. Veganism is a healthy choice that shows love and respect for animals, the environment and your own life. As a vehicle to promote veganism each year through outreach events and the media, we hope that World GO VEGAN Days will help make the word "vegan" a household term that is universally recognized as meaning love and compassion for all living beings.

"World GO VEGAN Days" is also about celebrating what it means to be vegan. Veganism enables people to live in balance with all of Earth's creatures and promote freedom for animals from exploitation as part of their everyday lives. Modern animal agriculture is cruel and violent toward the chickens, cows, pigs and other creatures used to make meat, milk and eggs. During World GO VEGAN Days, we encourage people to become conscious of what - and who - they are eating, the effect it has on the world, and that a non-violent alternative exists.

For the health of people, the environment, and farmed animals, veganism is the best choice. World GO VEGAN Days embodies this idea. As an international campaign, it encourages people around the world to experience the benefits and joys of a more compassionate way of life.

1. Cool.

World Vegetarian Day was yesterday. Oct 1. (I only know that 'cause I was at an event this weekend.)

PS It's slightly lame that I remember that off the top of my head, but I'd have to doublecheck your b'day on my calendar. :D
