Love Earth Gatherings
Saturday 11am, October 4, 2008
The Love Earth Gatherings are our opportunity to encourage the world to adopt a vegetarian/vegan lifestyle so we can drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save our planet.
If all people in Australia could adopt a vegetarian/vegan diet we could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by almost one third.
31% of total greenhouse gases in Australia are caused by animal industries – from A Balancing Act (2005), a report by CSIRO and The University of Sydney.
It is a simple inexpensive solution that everyone can do right now and it will buy us more time to wean our civilization off fossil fuels.
As part of National Vegetarian Week, Love Earth Gatherings will be held in the major Australian cities on Saturday October 4 (World Animal Day) at 11am, and we'll be observing one-minute of silence at midday for all the sentient beings harmed in the world due to our actions.
As concerned citizens, we want to bring the vegetarian/vegan diet into the forefront of climate change political agendas worldwide and let our politicians know that it is a viable solution to end climate change. Because it is the quickest most effective way to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.
So come along and show your support. Wear colourful clothing, bring your colourful pro veg banners and signs and let's get as many people there as possible! All veg friendly groups/individuals are invited to participate. Spread the word!
For venue details and the activities being held in each city please visit: www.loveearthgathering.com (www.loveearthgathering.com)
