MFA Advocates Celebrate Earth Day Nationwide

Nathan Runkle April 22, 2010

Mercy For Animals advocates were out in full force in cities across the country to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Earth Day and to encourage conscious consumers to go green by adopting an eco-friendly vegan diet.

In Texas, MFA made quite a splash at Dallas’ Oak Cliff Earth Day celebration – educating dozens of people on the ethical, health and environmental benefits of a plant-based diet.

Visitors to MFA’s educational exhibit also received mouthwatering samples of delicious meat alternatives, including cuts of Tofurky’s Italian, Peppered and Hickory Smoked deli slices.

Nearly a thousand miles away, visitors to the Cincinnati Earth Festival were also greeted by members of MFA. Toting free Vegetarian Starter Kits and literature revealing “Another Inconvenient Truth” (that, according to the United Nations, animal agriculture generates more greenhouse gases than all the world’s cars, trucks, trains and planes, combined), the advocates inspired droves of Ohioans to explore a meatless diet.
MFA also carried out Earth Day events in New York, Chicago, Columbus, Dayton and Asheville.
