Meatless March to friends, family, and colleagues
Introductory Message
“Hello _____,
How are you? I wanted to mention something. Coming up soon is the challenge called ‘Meatless March’, and I’m planning to try it this year. Can I tell you about some of the ways you could participate?”
If they are interested…
“The classic Meatless March is avoiding eating meat for one month. Dairy, eggs, fish, seafood, beans, nuts, tofu, and cheese are all allowed. But there are many variations - you make your own rules.”
You could direct them to the ‘Details’ page of this website for more information.
If they aren’t interested
“No worries! Thanks for letting me know.”
This is a voluntary challenge and it is only useful for people if the timing, logistics, and purpose of the challenge work for them.
“…how we nourish ourselves is inextricably linked to every aspect of how we live our lives, including being activists for justice and equality.”
