Herma Caelen has been an activist for more than a decade. Among countless other roles, she was the Honorary General Secretary of European Vegetarian Union (EVU), launched the mailing lists animal_net and later the European Vegetarian and Animal News Alliance (EVANA). She has organised a number of international campaigns and has been a strong supporter of the International Vegetarian Week right from the start.
Centro Vegetariano (CV) and Rádio Defesa dos Animais (RDA) were curious to learn a little bit more about Herma’s work.
The Vegetarian Week 2012 is already being celebrated in many places of the world.
And, as planned, here is the list of the three winners of the International Vegetarian Week contest.
A big Thank You to all the authors who submitted their works. And special congratulations to the winners, who are as follows.
No other creature on Earth explores natural resources, to its own benefit, as efficiently as humans do. Since early ages, humans have been developing effective techniques to ease their daily lives. From the discovery of fire to the invention of the wheel, including the invention of typography or the steam engine and the Industrial Revolution, humans always tried to stretch their own abilities, searching for and developing tools that could help improving their general well-being. Initially the quest was moved by the sole purpose of improving and easing human life, but soon it became, to a great extent, a quest for power and domination over other humans, animals and nature.
For the fourth consecutive year, the International Vegetarian Week was celebrated around the world, by hundreds of people in tens of countries.
World famous cartoonist, writer, performer and activist Dan Piraro has given his support to the Vegetarian Week project.
