If you read about enVeg in Jared Misner’s story in the Alligator, “School cafeterias serve more vegetarian dishes,” then thanks for stopping by and taking an interest in our organization!

enVeg is a University of Florida student group that educates people about the connection between meat and the environment. Because 18 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions may be attributed to animal agriculture, we ask students to become “meat reducers” in order to lessen their impact on the planet.

Going all-out vegan or vegetarian is praiseworthy, but we believe every effort makes a difference, hence our Meatless Mondays campaign to encourage people to give up meat just one day a week in order to combat climate change.

We also host monthly potlucks, biweekly meetings and various events throughout the year.

Upcoming activities include:

  • An ice cream social at Karma Cream with Gators for a Sustainable Campus
  • Sep 18

  • A question-and-answer forum with animal/environmental activist Bruce Friedrich on Oct 24
  • A talk by vegan triathlete Brendan Brazier Oct 28

Please subscribe to website updates to stay informed, or join us on Facebook. See you around!
