On February 10th, Veg Club worked with PETA and Starbucks to give away 50 cups of vegan hot chocolate. We ran out in about an hour and a half, and people were very interested in what made it vegan. In addition to the giveaway, we tabled and leafleted about the dairy industry, displaying faux dairy products and inviting people to hug our cow!
On February 24th, we tabled about the fishing industry, asking people to play our fishing challenge--a game where the participant closes their eyes and tries to catch only one color of plastic fish in a tub of water while avoiding other colors, using a wire net. This serves as analogy to one type of fishing method used by the industry, where a giant net collects all the creatures in its destructive path, killing non-target species. About 10-20 people participated in the game, and seemed positive and intrigued about the information they learned. Our table also displayed an empty package of faux fish by Gardein, and we gave away Swedish fish (the candy!).
What clever and creative ideas! Keep up the great work!
