Meatless Monday Canada
Meatless Monday Canada is part of a global movement. The idea is simple: Go meat-free one day a week. This campaign follows on the announcement by the United Nations last fall:
In terms of immediacy of action and the feasibility of bringing about reductions in a short period of time, it clearly is the most attractive opportunity. Give up meat for one day [a week] initially, and decrease it from there.
This is a relatively simple step all families can take that will have a significant effect on climate change. Jan van Aken, Greenpeace biologist, estimates Meatless Mondays could reduce cattle emissions by 10 to 20 percent. If you aren’t already a vegetarian, try having a Meatless Monday. Who knows? It may evolve into a Meatless Tuesday, Meatless Wednesday, etc. Learn about the Meatless Monday Canada campaign and how easy it is to participate.
Featuring a live music performance by Mojave!
It all began with an acoustic guitar, two voices and a Vancouver beach. In 2007, Paul and LJ started writing songs together as a mellow release from their hard rock bands. By the time those bands called it quits, the duo had enough material for the first Mojave album, Stories. The Mojave sound takes Paul & LJ’s hard rock roots and winds in softer harmonies. LJ’s clear vocals soar over delicate acoustic guitars, viola, violin, and eclectic percussion – weaving melodies, telling stories.
Called “haunting and just absolutely gorgeous” by Canadian Music News and “one of the best acoustic offerings you will hear this year” by Ravenheart Music. Mojave was voted one of the “Best Local Bands” in the Georgia Straight’s Best of Vancouver awards.
Like all their previous outings, Mojave has ensured their recent 2009 cross-Canada tour left a light footprint on the planet by carbon offsetting all travel and energy use with Less.ca.
Inseparable from Mojave's music is a deep commitment to the earth. As well as carbon offsetting, the band also donates a portion of their profits to to environmental charities through 1% for the Planet. The Crow’s Funeral CD is printed on FSC paper with soy ink and a biodegradable overwrap. Paul & LJ also help raise money for the Rest.Q Animal Sanctuary and the Stillpointe Llama Sanctuary, where they have adopted a charmingly mischievous llama named Starman.
