Great success of the Vegetarian Week 2009

The Vegetarian Week 2009 was definitely a great success, to continue and repeat in the coming years. Activities were promoted by tens of organisations in 12 different countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brasil, Canada, France, Italy, Portugal, Romania, Spain and USA.

The organisations involved appreciate the efforts of all the volunteers that contributed their valuable time and helped making this week a special one. A special thank also to our patron, author John Robbins, for his support and contribution to the success of this initiative.
