Description: Join us for a day of fun and celebration as Toronto joins the rest of the world in celebrating the World Vegan Day. Veganism is not just a healthy lifestyle choice, but people are now becoming increasingly aware of the direct correlation between what they eat every day and the health of the planet. As the World meat production has quadrupled in the past 50 years, environmentally conscious consumers are concerned not only with food miles, over-packaging and pesticide use, but also question the environmental sustainability.
Join us on Nov 5th for Spiritual concerts, Vegan feast and cooking demos, Educational Displays, Insightful talks and signup for : TORONTO MEATLESS CHALLENGE – Nov 5 -12
Pledge to be Vegan for 1 Week from Nov 5 to 12. If you are already Vegan – then signup to help someone stay Vegan. Not only will your efforts go a long way to save the environment and save thousands of innocent animals, it will win you a free Ticket to the ‘Inner EnvironMentality’, a special event with Devamrita Swami-A monk, Yale graduate, author and the founder of Institute of sustainability.
