Vegan vegetarian LA Student Spotlight ULV verne
Written by Tatiana Del Toro, a student at the University of La Verne
There is a misconception that life without the consumption of meat is impossible. Even in college, while students are being educated and exposed to alternative lifestyles, some closed-minded individuals see vegetarianism/veganism as a humorous topic. That's why having a PETA booth at the University of La Verne's "Recycling Fair" was not only imperative to the vegetarian/vegan cause, but it was a way to expose students and administration that partaking in the consumption of meat is not green.
We have had PETA booths before, but including the "Meat's Not Green" campaign shed a new light on the issues to our peers and faculty. Sure, using recycling bags, and conserving energy and water are all great, but even though raising animals for food contributes a large share to global warming, many green goers tend to ignore this fact. Having the "Meat's Not Green" brochures, stickers, and buttons brought awareness to the students and faculty of La Verne.
