The person who kills for fun is announcing that, could he get away with it, he'd kill you for fun. Your...life may be of no consequence to anyone else but is invaluable to you because it's the only one you've got. Exactly the same is true of each individual deer, hare, rabbit, fox, fish, pheasant and butterfly. Humans should enjoy their own lives, not taking others'. - Brigid Brophy
I spoke often in Congress against the war in Vietnam and commented on congresspersons hiding from the reality of war by saying 'many eat the meat but few go to the slaughterhouse'. I said it so often I became a vegetarian. - Rep. Andrew Jacobs
Tabling
One of the easiest and quickest ways to distribute veg literature is to set up a table in an environment accessible to inquiring people. i.e., the term "tabling", and probably not yet recognized by Webster as a verb! We love to table and try to do it as often as possible. The brochures, pamphlets and magazines, provided by several national organizations, are concise and well-written, free to anyone interested in learning the benefits of a plant-based diet, and contain a wealth of relevant and useful information. We enjoy tabling because it reaches a great number of folks and we have a chance to answer specific questions. Plus we make a lot of new friends!
From time to time, EVEN will staff an information table in and around town at local health food stores, the library, University of Oregon, Lane Community College, corporate health fairs, Earth Day celebrations or even at the Saturday Market! Look for the big, beautiful, bright yellow EVEN sign hand-painted and donated by Stephanie Schaibley for exactly such purposes. (Thank you, Stephanie!) If you see us, please stop by and say hello.
Note: EVEN is almost always available (time permitting) to speak to your group, class, organization or company about the benefits of a plant-based diet, so just ask us! eugvegedunet@comcast.net We'd be glad to help.
