Vegan Sunday in Dallas-Fort Worth or north Texas area.

Vegan Sunday 

 



DFW Vegetarian Education Network

Vegan Sunday is a campaign to promote environmentally sustainable, healthy, and compassionatel food choices.

The basic message is to eat foods which are: 

  • Plant-based 
  • Organic when possible 
  • Locally grown if practical

Why? Because your choice of plant-based food that is also organic and locally grown has a long-lasting and an immediate effect on our planet. It is a direct environmental aid one individual can make to the environment.

Food choices are also part of the Vegan Sunday concept. Vegan Sunday (or Monday, Tuesday, etc) sets aside one day a week to do all of those earth-friendly actions all of us should do each day but often can not do. 

On that day (and other days) you can:
1. Eat plant-based meals.
2. Hike instead of shop.
3. Walk/Bike instead of drive.
4. Take public transportation or carpool.
5  Help a child understand sustainability.
6. Learn to can or preserve locally grown, organic food.
7. Start a worm garden.
8. Visit the farmer's market.
9. Start an organic vegetable garden.
10. Adjust your heating or cooling to use less energy.
11. Visit an organic farm.
12. Join an organic co-op 

It is important to make Vegan Sunday fun. Involve your family and friends in Vegan Sunday. This also adds to the fun.
