Ghent (Belgien) führt "Veggietag" ein

Belgian city plans 'veggie' days
By Chris Mason BBC News, Ghent

A poster advertising "Veggie Day" shows a sailor rowing an aubergine
The Belgian city of Ghent is about to become the first in the world to go vegetarian at least once a week.

Starting this week there will be a regular weekly meatless day, in which civil servants and elected councillors will opt for vegetarian meals.
Ghent means to recognise the impact of livestock on the environment.
The UN says livestock is responsible for nearly one-fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions, hence Ghent's declaration of a weekly "veggie day".
Public officials and politicians will be the first to give up meat for a day.

Schoolchildren will follow suit with their own veggiedag in September.
It is hoped the move will cut Ghent's environmental footprint and help tackle obesity.
Around 90,000 so-called "veggie street maps" are now being printed to help people find the city's vegetarian eateries.

Stadt in Belgien plant "vegetarischen Tag" (BBC News)

Ein Poster für den "Veggietag" zeigt einen Matrosen, der eine Aubergine steuert.

Die belgische Stadt Ghent ist die erste Stadt der Welt, die vegetarisch wird, zumindest für einen Tag pro Woche.

Mit Beginn dieser Woche wird es dort einen wöchentlichen fleischfreien Tag geben, an dem Beamte und Regierungsmitglieder vegetarische Gerichte wählen werden.

Ghent will damit die Umweltbelastung durch Tierzucht anerkennen.

Laut den Vereinigten Nationen ist Tierzucht für fast fünf Prozent der weltweit produzierten Treibhausgase verantwortlich, deshalb die Erklärung eines wöchentlichen "Veggietags" in Ghent.

Beamte und Politiker werden die ersten sein, die für einen Tag Fleisch aufgeben werden.

Ab September werden dann Schüler und Schülerinnen ihren eigenen "Veggietag" haben.

Man hofft die Veränderung wird Ghents ökologischen Fussabdruck reduzieren und dabei behilflich sein das Problem der Fettleibigkeit in Angriff zu nehmen.

Im Moment werden ungefähr 90.000 sogenannte "Veggie-Strassenkarten" gedruckt, die der Bevölkerung beim Auffinden von vegetarischen Essmöglichkeiten helfen sollen.

Ciudad belga planea "día vegetariano" (noticias de la BBC)

Un póster promocionando el día vegetariano muestra un marinero navegando en una berenjena. La ciudad belga, Ghent, esta a punto de convertirse en la primera ciudad del mundo en ser vegetariana, por los menos una vez a la semana. Desde ésta semana abra regularmente un día a la semana sin carne en que los empleados y autoridades públicas optarán por una comida vegetariana. Ghent desea reconocer el impacto de la ganadería en el medio ambiente. La ONU dice que la ganadería es responsable por al menos un 20% de las emisiones mundiales de gases de efecto invernadero, por eso la declaración de Ghent de un día vegetariano a la semana. Las autoridades publicas y los políticos seran los primeros en dejar la carne por un día a la semana. Los escolares seran los siguientes con su propio día vegetariano desde septiembre. Se espera que la medida reduzca la huella medioambiental de Ghent y ayude a abordar el problema de la obesidad. Se están imprimiendo alrededor de 90.000 de los llamados mapas vegetarianos para ayudar a la gente a encontrar los lugares vegetarianos.

STHITAprajna- Vegan Life Centre INDIA NOVEMBER 2009

STHITAprajna- Vegan Life Centre
An International Vegan Centre for Yoga, Meditation, Relaxation and Rejuvenation

P.O.Box-17, BYNDOOR, Kundapur Taluk, Udupi Dist., Karnataka, India.

Gita identifies the person with the True Human Nature by the Sanskrit name Sthitaprajna (Perfect Yogi). Sthita means stable, Prajna is mind, intellect, wisdom. Sthitaprajna is a person whose mind has stabilized. According to Gita, Sthitaprajna attains the Universal Wisdom and Eternal Peace by abandoning the illusory pain and sufferings. Lord Krishna’s ideal human being is Sthitaprajna who is not a religious person engaged in rituals. Whether he has faith in the Divine is immaterial as long as he is in a state of equilibrium while facing the ups and downs of life. In this state he does experience life but remain unmoved by it because his mental faculties are always in a state of equilibrium.

Mahatma Gandhi once said "The only change that the world needs is you!" The attitude determines the outcome: those with positive mental attitudes do not worry about the rewards or punishments from their actions. Sthitaprajna represents the qualities of the changed human soul.

STHITAprajna, is a vegan community located close to the Western Coast of South India in the state of Karnataka, on the footsteps of Western Ghats, a world hot spot of bio-diversity. STHITAprajna is spread over about 3 acres of vibrant nature along a seasonal natural stream. Nearest airport is Mangalore (140 kms) and the Railway Station is Byndoor (10 kms).

In today’s world, life is full of pulls and pressures causing enormous pain making people immune to the problems and sufferings of the fellow beings. At STHITAprajna one learns to live a life in a state of constant happiness with good health and in harmony with nature (animals and earth) using minimum resources available in the nature. At STHITAprajna residents have healthy vegan food (plant food without animal products) with emphasis on organically grown ingredients procured from local sources.

At STHITAprajna we plan to have a yoga hall for the practice of yoga, pranayama and meditation. It is an eco-friendly place for relaxation and rejuvenation having very basic amenities with place for reading and listening to soulful music, playing indoor and outdoor games, cooking and eating, connecting with the external world using telephone, email and internet. One may involve in other activities like cooking, cleaning, growing vegetables, etc. in the campus. Trekking along the mountains, village walk, visit to beach, excursions to nearby temple towns like Kollur, Murdeshwar, Udupi and Dharmasthala can be other options.

STHITAprajna is an associate of Indian Vegan Society and International Vegetarian Union (www.ivu.org) and slated to open on World Vegan Day on 1st November, 2009.
