'Spring into Action' is part of an emerging grassroots movement against climate change. Born out of the Camp for Climate Action, 'Spring into Action' unites people across the east of England into making changes in our own lives, creating small scale solutions in our communities and resisting those who still seek their own short term gain over a safe future for us all.
Livestock a major threat to environment says the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization.
Livestock and meat production contribute in a massive way to greenhouse gas emissions, so if you want to make a difference best go vegan.
Our mass production of animals is having a huge impact on the environment on many levels, from deforestation (grazing land accounts for 26% percent of the ice-free terrestrial surface of the planet), to greenhouse gases (not just 18% of CO2 emissions, but 37% of methane emissions which has 23 times the global warming potential of CO2), and even water consumption (accounting for 8% of all global human water usage).

Whenever possible Veggies feature the publications of the Movement for Compassionate Living, which we print and distribute to promote simple living and vegan self-reliance as a remedy to the exploitation of humans, animals and the Earth. We also support our nominated charity, Vegfam, ‘Feeding the hungry without exploiting animals’. If you can help us with either of these projects at this event, whilst we are busy with Veggies catering, please email pat@veggies.org.uk.
