October 1-7 is International Vegetarian Week (IVW), supported by vegetarian organisations, animal rights groups and other organisations.
Important names, such as Dr. Rajenda Pachauri, Nobel prize winner, and Dr. Jean Ziegler, Vice-president of the Advisory Committee of the United Nations Human Rights Council, can be found on the list of supporters of the initiative.
The Vegetarian Week will start in a few days. Many organisations, in many countries, have already their activities planned.
Again, the Vegetarian Week 2010 was even better than the Vegetarian Week 2009 - events in more countries (at least 18, while there were 12 in 2009), and more organisations involved. See pictures of some selected events.
