• Write a letter to the editor at your local newspaper about vegetarianism. Remind them that October if Vegetarian Awareness Month (which will help increase your chances of it being published).
• Contact local restaurants and inform them, as well as ask them to add a special vegetarian dish to the menu this month.
• Host a vegetarian potluck in order to get people together. Be sure to invite omnivores, so you can raise awareness about vegetarianism to them.
• Take some good vegetarian dishes into your workplace or office. Share them your co-workers and let them know it's Vegetarian Awareness Month and you want them to see how good cruelty-free plant-based food can be.
• Wear a vegetarian or animal rights related shirt.
