If Devon A. Mihesuah had her way, American Indians would abandon their love of fry bread, quit drinking so much, and embrace a healthy, active lifestyle like that of their ancestors. As a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and a professor of global-indigenous-nations studies at the University of Kansas at Lawrence, she has made it her goal to educate her fellow tribe members about the importance of nutrition and fitness.

Get Active for Vegan Earth Day - April 22nd!

The only thing better than going vegan to reduce global warming emissions and protect the environment is helping others take this critical step.

Let's educate the public that animal agriculture is responsible for more greenhouse gases than all forms of transportation combined- changing our driving habits is not enough! Three times a day, we can make the choice to eat sustainably by leaving meat, dairy, and eggs off our plates.

Here are a few ways you can inform your community about this powerful personal tool we all have to improve the state of the earth:

- Organize a Vegan Earth Day event

- Promote veganism at an existing Earth Day event.

- Distribute special environmental handouts that offer free Vegan Starter Guides and Meatout Mondays, our colorful weekly e-mail with recipes.
