    Hey everyone –

    Thank you all for participating in the No Meat Week! It’s great to see that so many folks are passionate about this issue and willing to send such a powerful statement to the unsustainable livestock industry.

    Since we have over 75% of our tipping point reached, it feels like time to announce a date. Let’s make it the first week of September, the 1-7.

    That will give us plenty of time to fully reach the tipping point and also give us all the opportunity to discuss ways to further the movement. I hope that folks will be willing to share any current news or perspectives on the subject so that we can all stay informed. Also, let’s collaborate on further steps we can all take to utilize the No Meat Week as a platform to raise awareness about the issue. I’ll make sure to write up a press release about the campaign soon.

    Since it appears like there is such a strong response to this campaign, it seems like we could definitely take it further. How about a No Meat Thanksgiving, or a No Meat December with a higher tipping point? If there’s interest, I’ll be sure to create another campaign, which I hope you all might be willing to help spread the word about.

    Be sure to check out the “Meatless McCartney Mondays” campaign too: http://www.thepoint.com/campaigns/meatless-mc-c…

    Looking forward to hearing more from you all!

    Thanks,

    Julia
