Veguary is a student-led initiative that was conceived in September 2009. The organization encourages people to pledge to either eat no meat or less meat during the month of February (Vegetarian + February = Veguary). Veguary was founded by students at the Abraham Joshua Heschel School on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York.

Mission

  • help to slow greenhouse gas emissions made by meat producers by raising awareness of the connection between the production of meat and the environment.
  • take a stand against the unhealthy diets and habits of millions of Americans and against the title: “The Obese Country.”
  • take a stand against the inhumane treatment of animals by industrial meat producers.
