World Vegetarian Week October 01 to October 07 2009 was World Vegetarian Week. Organizations in many countries (including the Green Lifestyle Film Festival ), joined this movement to promote a healthier, more humane and environmentally sustainable lifestlye. Why a Vegetarian Week? With nearly daily reports of severe droughts, floods, storms and wildfires, and climate scientists predicting increasingly warm temperatures, it is urgent to shift the world from its present unsustainable path to avoid a huge catastrophe. Many reports have shown the significant contributions of animal-based diets to global warming, so it is essential to get the urgency of dietary shifts onto the world's agenda. Everyday is an excellent day to be a healthy and conscious vegetarian, but one week in October is set aside as another opportunity to double our efforts and actions towards more sustainable choices. Kudos to Mateus at centrovegetariano.org in Portugal for organizing this very informative event. The next WVW is now in the planning stages for 2010.
