World Vegetarian Day on October 1

The World Vegetarian Day will be celebrated on 1 October in all over the world including Pakistan to create a better world because vegetarian diets have proven health benefits, save animals' lives and help to preserve the Earth.
World vegetarian day has been observed since 1977 bringing together vegetarians from all over the world for a common cause.
It brings awareness to the ethical, environmental, health and humanitarian benefits of a vegetarian lifestyle. Vegetarian diets reduce the risk of major killers such as heart disease, stroke and cancer while cutting exposure to foodborne pathogens, provide a viable answer to feeding the world's hungry through more efficient use of grains and other crops, save animals from suffering in factory-farm conditions and from the pain and terror of slaughter, conserve vital but limited freshwater, fertile topsoil and other precious resources, preserve irreplaceable ecosystems such as rainforests and other wildlife habitats, decrease greenhouse gases that are accelerating global warming, mitigate the ever-expanding environmental pollution of animal agriculture etc.
