Dear Fellow Students,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\nStudent Union is organizing a campaign called Meat-free Mondays next\nmonth. Probably you may ask why we have\nto launch such a campaign. I am going to\ntell you the reasons why the campaign is launched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As\nsociety is promoting the importance of the protection of the environment and\nthe world is suffering from the extensive emission of greenhouse gases, which\nleads to global warming, how can we help cope with the problem? During the production of meat, many\ngreenhouse gases like methane and carbon dioxide are emitted. Therefore, when we eat meat, greenhouse gases\nare emitted. If we eat less meat, then\nwe can help alleviate global warming by reducing the emission of greenhouse\ngases. Though it is a very small step,\nit does bring great effects. The tiny\nwater drops can form an ocean. Eating\nless meat is the simplest way to solve the environmental problem that you and I\ncan also follow. As a world citizen, we\nhave the responsibility to protect the earth together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Besides,\nit is healthy for us to go vegetarian. \nAs shown in a survey, the number of overweight students is on the\nrise. One of the reasons which leads to\nthis issue is that students eat too much meat and too few vegetables. To prevent this issue, we would like to\nlaunch this programme to students. There\nare many nutrients like dietary fibres, minerals and vitamins in vegetables. They can help build our body tissues and\nmuscles, which can make us stronger and fitter. \nWe want to build a habit of eating vegetables among schoolmates so that\nour schoolmates can be healthier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moreover,\nas our school is a Buddhist school, eating meat is against our belief. Devout Buddhists like some of our teachers\nare vegetarians. We could also try to be\na vegetarian and experience the Buddha\u2019s teachings, which tell us eating meat\nis a kind of sin. We should try to wean\noff this habit and be a vegetarian that follows the Buddha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last\nbut not least, you can join our lunch gathering to show your support. We will prepare the food in the gathering. It\nis a great chance for you to experience being a vegetarian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\nare many benefits for you to eat more vegetables, so don\u2019t hesitate. Come and support us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Best regards<\/p>\n\n\n\n
