The Hellenic Vegetarian Αssociation’s (HellasVeg) founding cause is to highlight and promote the vegetarian way of life, to everyone, without exclusions and dogmatism, and to inspire them in taking part of the responsibility that today’s person should carry for himself, the planet, and our ecosystem. 

Regardless of one’s reasons (improving or preventing general health, tackling specific health problems, ethic concerns towards animal cruelty and human beings living in the verge of poverty, protecting the environment), we can contribute to a positive direction by altering some habits in our everyday life.

The small steps every individual can take, can make a difference in the big picture of human evolution on the Earth.

This path is not unhindered, since all the years of different practices, and the negative stereotypes around veganism cannot easily be transformed. This effort is also obstructed by fear of the unknown, and the internal resistance to change that characterizes us. And of course, there still is ignorance about food, its production processes, and the conditions of vegetarianism.

To overcome these obstacles, we take active action as HellasVeg, and we seek the largest possible number of people to stand by our side.
