Leaflets
One of the most effective ways of educating others about the health and ethical benefits of a
plant-based diet is by distributing literature in public places. The great thing about leafleting
is the lack of preparation time required. At the right time and place, just one person can
hand out a whole bunch of flyers in less than an hour and really make a difference.
Our "The Clock Is Ticking..." flyer is a good for whetting people's appetites about the
health and environmental benefits of switching to a plant-based diet, while our three "Why?"
factsheets document the cruelty involved with factory farming and are good for handing out
on stalls, pinning on noticeboards or just giving to friends who are unaware about these
issues. Download and print out these resources below.
Any busy area with foot traffic is ideal for distributing your literature and since young
people tend to be very interested in health, environmental and animal cruelty issues - and
are open to change - college and University campuses and concerts are also great places to leaflet.
We also recommend giving out The Vegan Society's "Why Vegan?" booklet, which concisely
covers all aspects of veganism and can be downloaded and printed below or ordered in bulk
directly from the Vegan Society here: www.vegansociety.com.
