For those new to vegetarianism, it serves as an enticement to give meatless fare a try (even for a day) and learn about its many benefits. And, of course, it's the perfect occasion for vegetarians and those already moving towards plant-based diets to celebrate their healthy, compassionate food choices.
World Vegetarian Day and Vegetarian Awareness Month celebrations are as varied as the people who plan them. Whether you want to keep yours simple and private or public and grand — please let DYBA know of any ideas and plans that you have.
Here are a few great ways to help support and advertise Vegetarian Awareness Month -
| • | Wear informative vegetarian message T-shirts throughout the month |
| • | Display World Vegetarian Day / Vegetarian Awareness Month posters at libraries, supermarkets, co-ops, health food stores, churches, art centers and other appropriate public areas |
| • | Invite friends and family home for a celebration meal |
| • | Ask libraries (public, college, high school, etc) to set-up a display of their vegetarian titles |
| • | Encourage restaurants, co-ops, and health food stores to support and publicize their vegetarian options, including in their promotional flyers |
| • | Host a screening of vegetarian and related documentaries or films for friends, and/or arrange to have them shown on public access TV |
| • | Place an ad in newspapers and other local publications |
| • | Host a potluck, picnic, or meal at a restaurant |
| • | Write a letter to the editor announcing these occasions and tell about how vegetarianism has benefited you |
| • | Solicit bookstores to set up a display of vegetarian cookbooks and to offer special discounts throughout the month |
| • | Give an educational presentation for any group you are affiliated with |
| • | Ask your city mayor or town supervisor to sign a World Vegetarian Day proclamation |
| • | Deliver a vegetarian lunch to local officials (with media coverage, if possible) or to local radio talk show hosts |
| • | Serve a meatless meal at area homeless shelters |
| • | Leaflet at fairs, malls, or at other public events |
