TAGGED: Vegan vegetarian animal rights Street Team Meatout presentation

March 20 is the Meatout, where people all around the world will encourage their friends and family to give up eating dead animals' flesh (a.k.a. meat). Whether it's for a day (good), a month (better), or forever (best), the important thing is that people start taking steps towards going vegetarian. You can take the pledge here.

Remember, there are a ton of really great reasons to go vegetarian or vegan. If you need some inspiration, consider the great work that Jamie has been up to at his school. When given the chance to write a persuasive essay and do a presentation for his honors English course, Jamie immediately knew he wanted to discuss vegetarianism. His presentation included a PowerPoint presentation, handouts (we're always happy to send you stuff for free), and a bunch of photos showing his classmates exactly how animals are exploited for their flesh.

Jamie said that by the end of the presentation his classmates had a lot more respect for his vegetarianism. Not only that, he said that it was "one of the happiest times in (his) life to know (he) can make a difference and to know that (his) voice was heard." Right on!

If you're looking to spread the word for the Meatout or any other time of the year, make sure you join the peta2 Street Team and especially check out the Take Charge section to get updates on all the latest campaigns!

Thanks!
