<p style="text-align: justify;">Veg Climate Alliance is an informal non-monetary organization, with a mission to increase awareness and facilitate communication on the benefits of plant-based diets and related issues. Our mission statement: <a target="_blank" href="http://vegclimatealliance.org/about/">http://vegclimatealliance.org/about/</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Veg Climate Alliance is now planning to "Turn Copenhagen into CopenVegan," by organizing a forum, use of flyers, signs and ads, and other activities during the Copenhagen climate conference, to increase awareness that a major shift to plant-based diets is an essential part of efforts to avert a climate disaster. We would welcome any help you might provide in these efforts, such as translating and forwarding press releases. Further infos on our campaign: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.CopenVegan.com">www.CopenVegan.com</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You are also cordially invited to become a partner of the Veg Climate Alliance. If you agree, we would add you to our list of partners on our website: <a target="_blank" href="http://vegclimatealliance.org/partners/partners/">http://vegclimatealliance.org/partners/partners/</a>. Partnership just involves voluntary cooperation, for instance by supporting press releases, statements etc. However, there are no financial obligations or partnership fees, as the Veg Climate Alliance is an informal, non-monetary international network for mutual support and information exchange.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Please feel free to forward this letter to other vegetarian organizations and encourage them to support it as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We would appreciate a reply by Saturday, Dec. 5th, so that we can start contacting Copenhagen delegates and other world leaders. We very much hope to be able to list more at least 100 supporters from all over the world.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Thank you for your kind consideration, and best wishes as you continue your important efforts for an environmentally sustainable world.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Very truly yours,</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Richard (Schwartz) <br />
