Take the College VegPledge This May!

GirlWVeggies.jpgWhether it’s your first year away from home or you’re a seasoned grad student, there’s no better way to start the summer than with fresh fruits and vegetables that mark the season. Who doesn’t love a slice of watermelon before hopping in the pool? Better yet, make a splash with the Students for Animal Rights by pledging to commit to a vegan diet for the month of May with the 2010 College VegPledge

As we wrap up our Earth Day celebrations, we encourage you to take what you’ve learned about the positive impact of a vegetarian diet by joining with thousands of others to spread the word about making a commitment to helping animals and the planet.
Get everyone involved in the action! Encourage your friends to make the transition to a vegan lifestyle by voicing your pledge on Twitter and Facebook. Check out MFA’s Campaign page for more info on holding your own leafleting event or feed-in, hosting a tabling event, or creating a library display. Click here for support materials and resources to inform consumers of the health, ethical, and environmental benefits of a plant-based diet.
