- Make a delicious vegan dish for family and friends to share and wait for them to say, "Holy shit! This is what you eat? I thought you just ate bean sprouts and lettuce..."
- Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper about the benefits of eliminating animal products from our lives - and dare them to publish it. It would actually be doing them a favour because they would have reaction letters for weeks to come.
- Since the day falls on a Sunday this year, chances are you might be sitting around watching a sporting event with friends and/or family. Make sure to mention the professional athletes that adhere to a vegan lifestyle.
- Visit a vegan restaurant and give them the business they deserve and need in order to survive. If your town doesn't have a vegan restaurant but you find yourself in a local eatery, make sure to point out their lack of vegan friendly meals (or compliment them if they do have these items).
- Bring to light the fact that this is the 65th anniversary of Donald Watson coining the term 'Vegan'.
- Since the Gorilla is the mascot of this year's vegan day, bring to light the fact the one of the largest, strongest mammals on earth (and a direct relative of ours) is vegan.
- Since Veganism and the environment are so closely tied, make an effort to leave the car in the driveway today.
- Try a fruit or vegetable that you've never tried before.
- Visit an animal shelter and walk one of the dogs (if allowed...).
- Write a letter to your local school board, asking why they don't offer vegan options in the school cafeterias (compliment them if they do...).
Of course, these are things we should be doing EVERY day!
