Costa Rica

[San José] On February 21, Golden Year 7 (2010), our local Association members organized a march and a fair in downtown San José, Costa Rica, in order to urge the public to take measures to halt the adverse effects of global warming. Joined by different vegetarian and animal defense organizations as well as individuals, the march was two miles long and supported by the local road patrol and the National Red Cross. They received positive feedback from people with some even asking for SOS flyers while still in their cars or on buses. All the main television channels covered this important event.

Located near the lake in La Sabana Metropolitan Park, one of the most popular recreational areas in the city, the fair provided a variety of activities and vegan samples for everyone to enjoy. Many were impressed by the food and took recipes home. Representatives from the Red Cross spoke about how to prevent and act in the event of a natural disaster. Our Association members explained the effects of meat consumption on human health, the environment and climate as well as the benefits of sustainable, organic agriculture. Some of the Supreme Master TV global warming clips were played for the participants. A special area was also set up for kids to draw and play. The crowd very kindly accepted the many flyers that were handed out.

It’s our hope that with greater understanding of the consequences of meat-eating, more people will choose the compassionate vegan lifestyle to ease the burden on the planet.
