Started by volunteers from Ottawa's Peace and Environment Resource Centre, on February 1st we are starting a 40-day vegetarian/vegan challenge! For those thinking about trying out the whole not eating meat thing, the the encouragement and co-involvement (or co-miseration depending how you look at it) of others might help you make this step. There's nothing in the world like community.
So here's how it's going to play out: on February 1st we make a commitment to become vegetarian, or vegan if one chooses, for 40 whole days (no religious significance here). And you, our loyal readers and supporters, can either join in or follow our journey on the challenge blog. There will be almost daily updates on how we're doing, what we're eating, and general information on the hows and whys of cutting out animal products in your life. You'll hear about the highs and lows and be able to make comments or give us tips and recipes on the blog.
For one perspective on why you would want to do such a rash thing as stop eating meat and animal products, check out Mike's article, PERC Potlucks: What They Are and Why They Are Vegetarian.
If you are interested in tagging along and want to be added as a blogger, contact us at veggiechallenge [insert at] yahoo.ca or give the PERC office a call and leave us your contact info. So far Stef C. and Denise M. are in preparation mode and would love to get your perspective. Yes, you! If you are looking for a challenging change to start off this new year, here's your chance.

Hi!
It's Jiayi here. And just dropping by here (and to every other post) for a hurrah.
Pros: feed back/response from the sometimes anonymous internet is awesome.
cons: I start looking like a puppet and/or stalker.
Oh well.
Hurrah!
