San Diego’s Animal Protection & Rescue League is putting the pressure on San Diegans this week to prevent cruelty, improve their health, and help protect the environment by taking the Veg Pledge. The Veg Pledge makes it easy for individuals to try a week of a vegetarian or vegan diet by sending out email daily updates with free nutritional information, recipes, and motivational advice to help them succeed in their pledge. Along with the e-mail updates, APRL has put together an vegetarian event to coincide with nearly every day during the pledge week culminating with their Second Annual Compassion Bash this Saturday. To top it all off, at the end of the week long pledge, you are eligible to win veg prizes like gift certificates and cookbooks! Here is a list of the events planned for this week:

Monday 7pm: Screening of HBO documentary “Death on a Factory Farm”
Tuesday 7pm: Nutrition lecture by Jack Norris, RD
Wednesday 7pm: Cooking demonstration at Nature’s Express
Thursday 7pm: Mixer at Kava Lounge
Saturday 6pm: APRL’s Second Annual Compassion Bash!
