On April 15th, we attempted to do a "How Much Rainforest?"
demonstration, setting up a 20x30 foot red tarp in the Union Oval to
show the amount of Amazon Rainforest cut down for animal agriculture
every 1/10th of a second. However, it wasn't up for long, because we
live in 'Blowing' Green (aka the wind defeated us). Apparently sticks
cannot replace metal stakes. Better luck next year!
On April 18th, Veg Club and S.A.V.E. members got together for an awesome end-of-the-year party! We ate yummy potluck food, including spaghetti, green bean casserole, lentils and carrots, fruit, cookies, cookie dough balls, chips and guac/hummus, etc. Then we played Cards Against Humanity. Finally, we ventured outside to a nearby park, demonstrating our vegan strength on the monkey bars, chalking the top of a tall rock with vegan messages, and playing duck-duck-goose (the random animal-random animal-turkey version we made up) and telephone. It was a blast and we had lots of laughs!
On April 22nd, Veg Club participated in BGSU's annual Eco Fair,
leafleting and talking to people about the devastating environmental
impact that animal agriculture has on our planet.
On April 27th and 28th, our PETA campus rep handed out 56 free vegan hot
dogs, with overwhelmingly positive response and great conversations with
people! This is definitely an event to repeat on a larger scale next
year.We unforunately were unable to go to SASHA this semester, but we can't wait to try again in September! It's been an AMAZING school year with wonderful involvement and a LOT of new events. Thank you to our incredible members and everyone who supports us. This school year, we had 15 outreach events, 2 potlucks, 2 eat-togethers, 2 bake sales (one for us, one for turkey adoption), and 1 volunteer day!!
See you in the fall, at our new meeting location Olscamp 219, still Tuesdays at 9pm! :)
