Camden Green fair selling meat - contact them

Global warming. Overexploited natural resources. Deforestation. Wasted land. Water and air pollution. The most serious environmental problems of our time are all directly linked to eating meat.

Think you can be a meat eating environmentalist? Think again!

The Camden Green Fair (June 1st just gone) is always a great event but they are ignorant on the issues around animal farming and the destruction of the planet. Amazingly they have stalls at the fair selling meat. Selling meat at a green fair is like having a brothel at a Catholic fair.

Please politely contact them here and tell them why they shouldn't be promoting meat.

The letter I wrote to them

Hello,
Well done on another great green fair! It's a shame the weather wasn't good.
The most serious environmental problems of our time such as,global warming, overexploited natural resources, deforestation, wasted land, water and air pollution are all directly linked to eating meat. So why are you having stalls at the fair that are selling meat? There are plenty of veggie catering companies around such as Veggies in Nottingham who could provide high quality and affordable veggie food and not promote the falsity that meat eating is 'green'.
Thanks for your time,

RR
