INTERNET BASED ORGANIZATION!
We would like to cordially invite you to become a member of a vegetarian organization called Vegetarian Foodsteps!
Q: What kind of organization is it?
Vegetarian Foodsteps is an Internet based vegetarian organization, composed of the members of the Internet community. It is founded by vegetarians and animal rights activists, including some of the former members of Carleton University Vegetarian Club, Carleton University Friends of Animals Club, University of Ottawa Vegetarian Club, Ottawa Vegetarian Society, and others!
Q: Who can join Vegetarian Foodsteps?
Anyone who believes that vegetarianism offers a healthy and compassionate lifestyle is welcome to join us!
Q: Why do we need ONE MORE vegetarian organization?
It is true that there are many vegetarian organizations "out there" already. However, this should not be the reason to give up activism! There are heck of a lot more meat-eating organizations in the world than the vegetarian ones!
Not all vegetarian organizations are alike. This could be the one, which addresses your needs and expresses you!
So, let us chip in with our creativity and effort to make this planet a better place!
Of course being an Internet based group has many drawbacks. For example, it would be nice to get together and brainstorm while sipping a cup-a-java or cup-a-green-tea! It would be nice to produce a radio show in one studio. It would be nice to organize potluck dinners, vegetarian food fairs, public lectures, etc! For now, we won't be able to do all that!...
On the other hand, we have the power to create projects, which may be presented online and thus become available to the public at large. Our ideas, projects, artwork, stories, articles, poems, etc, may become the starting points for "offline", or "real life" activism. Who knows, in time we may have started the creation of many vegetarian centers in the world!
Since we have no borders - we may become cross-cultural!... Just imagine the possibilities!...
Q: So, where do I begin?
First of all, if you want to join us, please fill in this form: (This form is not interactive, so you can't fill it out on the screen.

You can just BE a member!...
Q: Is there a fee to join Vegetarian Foodsteps?
The membership is absolutely free! So many vegetarian organizations try to make money off of their members! Though it may be understandable why they do it, it is unfortunate! Let us not commercialize compassion and care for the world!
Q: How can I contribute to Vegetarian Foodsteps?
If you have authored an article related to vegetarianism or compassionate treatment of animals - please send it in, and, upon approval of our Editor in Chief - your article will be posted. We would be happy to post your vegetarian-related stories, poems, designs, logos, drawings, photos, diary entries, aphorisms, interviews, short movies, vegetarian gifs, recipes, vegetarian crossword puzzles, vegetarian songs, etc., etc., etc.
Of course all artwork must be original - created by you!...
