World Vegetarian Day celebrates the achievements and benefits of vegetarianism and encourages people to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle.
Since its inception, World Vegetarian Day has been celebrated all over the world. It is now recognized as a global celebration of vegetarianism and the benefits of a vegetarian lifestyle. World Vegetarian Day is also an opportunity to promote vegetarianism among the general public and to raise awareness about the cruelty involved in livestock production.
World Vegetarian Day is a day to celebrate both the achievements of vegetarianism and the many benefits it brings to society.
The primary aim of the day is to create awareness about the multiple advantages of vegetarianism and support networks for vegetarians across the world. Animal slaughter on large scale requires a lot of water and other limited resources. The process emits methane and other greenhouse gases which are a big burden on the degrading environmental situation.
World Vegetarian Day was established in the year 1977 by the North American Vegetarian Society (NAVS) to highlight the surfeit of benefits of vegetarianism, including saving the lives of animals. Following this, in the year 1978, it was endorsed by the International Vegetarian Union. Since then, every year on October 1, people celebrate the day all across the world.
Today, World Vegetarian Day is celebrated in more than 180 countries around the world. It is also recognized as a national day in several countries, including Brazil, China, France, and Thailand.
