In good governance news, a Canadian city supports the transition towards vegan food security. During 2010, Vancouver, British Columbia has allocated US$100,000 to support community plant-based food endeavors. These include purchasing organic produce from wholesalers in order to sell at cost price to people with low incomes. Neighborhood composting systems have also been developed. Mr. David Cadman, a Vancouver City Councilor, as well as President of Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI), a global association of city governments, expressed his view on the shift towards a plant-based lifestyle.

(In English)
David Cadman (m): I think moving towards a vegan diet is absolutely essential. When we look at the inputs that go into raising animals, whether it’s land use, or whether it’s food, the corn and grains that are grown to feed those animals, or water consumption, we cannot continue to live as dependent as we are on meat. If you begin to transform your own life, if you become a vegetarian, if you walk more, you will be healthier, the planet will be healthier, and you will begin to transform the way in which we live on this planet. Be Veg, Go Green 2 Save the Planet!

VOICE: Bravo, Councilor Cadman and Vancouver, on your words and actions in support of more sustainable communities. May all cities soon adopt the Earth-saving organic vegan diet to enjoy a thriving and harmonious future.
