Global Boycott Procter & Gamble Day XI

http://www.uncaged.co.uk/images/syngenta.jpg Procter & Gamble (P&G), one of the world's largest consumer product companies (products inc: Daz, Flash, Fairy, Pantene, Olay, Head & Shoulders, IAMS/Eukanuba) have been branded the "world's worst" corporation for their continued poisoning and killing of animals in the development of new cosmetics and toiletries and even 'pet' foods.

The eleventh annual Day of Action in 2007 and saw actions in towns and cities across the world - see the report and photos via the website. Please join us for the 12th annual Day of Action by staging: protests at P&G sites, supermarkets, town centres, campaign stalls, 'supermarket sweeps,'and letter-writing campaigns etc.

The aim is to
(i) educated consumers about P&G's practices and encourage 'cruelty-free' shopping; and
(ii) to spread the boycott until P&G permanently cease testing on animals.

For more information on how to get involved, including downloadable leaflets etc. see the website or contact Max at Uncaged.

Nottingham: email nar@veggies.org.uk

Cardiff: Sunday 18th, outside Boots the Chemist, Queen Street, 11.30 - 3.30. Contact Lorraine on 07948 069504

Food and Climate Action

/img/campaigns/fooddaybites.jpg Climate Action, (the Climate Camp people), are calling for a day of action that bites .... an opportunity to highlight the message the livestock sector generates more greenhouse gas emissions as measured in CO2 equivalent – 18 percent – than transport. A vegan diet can save an equivalent of 1.5 tonnes CO2 per person every year.

  • Please note the date in your diaries.

  • Organise free vegan food events, stalls in your town, banner drops, demos outside supermarkets, blockades of unsustainable food suppliers, street theatre think creatively and get involved! And if you can't do something on the day itself, promote it by doing something on the Saturday before it.

  • Download, print and distribute the flier for the June 3rd Food & Climate Action day: [pdf]

  • Veggies Catering Campaign urges you to be actively involved this day of action.
