I went to the green and global fun day here in Aldershot today and it was great fun! They had all sorts of information on recycling, wildlife and saving energy.
I was really surprised to find there was no vegan society stand. I went wearing my vegan society t-shirt that says "vegans have small eco footprints" on the front and "how big is yours?" on the back, and people kept asking me if I was from the vegan society and where the stall was! I did get into a very interesting chat with a woman when I signed some petitions to improve conditions for farm animals because she spotted my t-shirt. Turned out she was vegetarian and loves cheese so I told her how I used to be totally hooked on cheese and that I've never looked back. She seemed really pleased because I think she'd had people arguing with her all day, poor lady.
Did anyone else go? Has anyone else been to similar local events around the country? Is face paint vegan?! :undecided:
