On Saturday 5th December 2008, vegetarians and vegans from across the UK will be taking part in the "biggest ever mobilisation of vegetarians and vegans on environmental grounds!!" The annual National Climate March & Rally in London (this year also known as `The Wave`) is expected to attract up to 50,000 environmentalists. Veg*ns will march in support of the campaign but we`ll add our own message - "Fight Climate Change with your Knife and Fork!!".
Join the march to:
- Demand that world leaders stop propping up the farming industries that cause climate change.
- Raise awareness amongst environmentalists and the general public that their choice of diet is critical to the survival of wildlife, people and the planet!!
For many more details of the event, see the following websites:
