宣導素食，踐行素食，使地球成為素食星球是我們的重要使命之一，也是關愛地球的重要舉措，我們要將素食進行到底。

Propagating Vegan Diet, practicing Vegan Diet and helping the earth to become a Vegan Planet is one of our important missions, and is also a critical measure of caring the earth. We will carry Vegan Diet to the end.

國際素食日（或國際素食節），是一個自1986年開始來源於印度的一個節日；原稱“世界無肉日”。定於每年的11月25日。漸漸發展為一個世界性節日。這一天世界各地許多屠房停宰、飯堂醫院監獄等會供應全素食品。當年就有超過950萬人響應該運動。

“World Vegetarian Day” is a festival started in 1986 from India. Its original name was “World Meatless Day”. It’s set on Nov. 25th of each year. Gradually, it evolved to be an international festival. On this day, many slaughterhouses stop slaughtering; cafeterias, hospitals, prisons and so on would provide Vegetarian food. In that year alone, there were over nine million people who supported this event.

每年11月25日為“世界無肉日”（MeatlessDay），又稱“世界素食日”或“少肉日”，主要目的是：以關懷動物為基礎，推廣植物性飲食取代動物性飲食。素食者在“世界無肉日”不僅僅是以身作則，還要熱心的將自己的飲食習慣推廣給親朋好友。許多平日沒有吃素習慣的人們，也在這天要求自己吃一日素或者是一餐素，甚至是從此食素。

Nov. 25th of each year is “Meatless Day”. It’s also called “World Vegetarian Day” or “Meat Less Day”. Its main purpose is based on caring the animals and it advocates to replace animal-based diet with plant-based diet. On this day, Vegetarians not only serve as an example to others, but also extend their eating habits to family and friends. Many people who are not Vegetarians will force self to have one day of Vegetarian diet or maybe become Vegetarian from that day.

全球各地已有數千萬的人在這一天參與這個活動，利用群體的力量共同節制口腹之欲，不吃牛、羊、豬、雞、鴨、魚，以及任何動物或者肉製品，更不消費皮草、牙飾印石等動物製品。

There are already millions of people who participate this event, controlling appetite appeasement with the force of a team. They do not consume cow, sheep, hog, chicken, duck, fish and all other animal meat or animal related product. And they do not wear leather or fur and do not use products made of animal teeth.

“世界無肉日”是一種獨特的嘗試：人們希望能夠通過食素的方式摒棄一切形式的暴力，並喚起全世界人類對一切生命的珍愛和同情。

“World Meatless Day” is a kind of unique trial: People wish to abandon all types of violence and awaken humankind to cherish and have sympathy for all kinds of life.

我們，要讓每一天都成為素食日！

We, will make everyday Vegan day!
