Meat and Global Warming

Many environmental groups, including the National Audubon Society and the Union of Concerned Scientists, have recognized that raising animals for food damages the environment more than just about anything else that we do. A recent United Nations report has concluded that raising and killing animals for food causes more greenhouse gas emissions than all the cars, trucks, and planes in the world combined. The report also concluded that factory farming is one of the biggest contributors to the most serious environmental problems at every level – local and global. By adopting a vegan diet, each person can save many acres of land, countless gallons of water, and thousands of animals’ lives in his or her lifetime.

Help Leaflet at Taste of Chaos!!

Leaflet at Taste of Chaos - Volunteers needed!

Action for Animals will not have a booth on the Taste of Chaos music tour, but we are looking for volunteers to pass out our new leaflet at the shows. If you are going to the show, or if you can just go hit up the line, and you are willing to pass out at least 100 flyers, please let us know. These leaflets are not specific to this tour, so any shows or concerts you go to would be a great place to distribute our new leaflet.

For the Taste of Chaos tour schedule go here: http://tinyurl.com/2q8ruu

If you are able to print your own leaflets please do so – it will save AFA much-needed funds.
The leaflets print on standard 8 ½ by 11 inch paper. They should also print okay on A4 paper for our Australian and British friends. The flyers will need to be cut in half.
To view or print the leaflet, please go to this link: http://afa-online.org/docs/stopanimalcruelty_punk.pdf

If you can commit to passing out 100 or more flyers, please message us with the requested information and we will send them to you.

Please allow 10 to 14 days to receive flyers. If you are on the west coast allow 7 to 10 days.

Have a Heart for Animals this Valentine's Day

Action for Animals has created a Valentine's Day flyer that promotes vegan/vegetarianism that you can find in PDF form at http://students.washington.edu/careuw/Haveaheartred.pdf

The flyer addresses reasons to be vegan that are related to the heart and love: Have a Heart (animal cruelty), Vegetarians Make Better Lovers (impotence), Be Kind to Your Heart (heart disease), and Love Your Mother (the environment).

Please read the flyer yourself, and then we encourage you to share it with others. You can print it out to give to family and friends, include with your Valentine's Day cards, or pass out at busy locations. You can also attach the PDF to e-mails that you send to your family and friends.

Thank you for caring about animals this holiday!
