At the ZeGeVege Festival of Sustainable Living, along with fun and good vegan grub, there is also a place for activism

- Plenty of exhibitors, restaurants, workshops, gustations, giveaways, signing of petitions...

On September 2 and 3 at the ZeGeVege Festival, besides many interesting things, there is a real opportunity to learn something new about both sustainable living and a vegan diet. Sustainable living is a way of life in which natural resources are used without violation of the environment, lives of animals or well-being of people. Such a way of life enables the long-term survival of both plant and animal species, biodiversity, natural harmony, and peaceful coexistence of living beings on the planet.

ZeGeVege is an educational festival, and Animal Friends association organizes it on a non-profit basis. In the whole area around The Ban Jelacic Square there are more than one hundred exhibitions, six restaurants, a tent with lectures and workshops, and a stage with an all-day program. Along with marvelous vegan food, like cevaps, hempburgers, ghoulash, kebab, raw cakes and ice-cream, there's also the chance to try on cruelty-free shoes (made of non-animal products), as well as virtual reality technology.

Out of the numerous lectures, we can highlight the nutritionist lecture about veganism during pregnancy and childhood, the lecture about the ecology and food interconnection, and the lecture about interconnections between veganism and feminism. At the workshops, one can learn how to prepare delicious pancake meals without eggs, raw cakes, and the like. The visitors can also expect a vegan make-up station and a prize contest. In addition, vegan condoms will be distributed!

The number of vegetarians and vegans is incessantly growing -- there are more than 160,000 of those who eat that way, including a great majority of citizens who support this rising movement, and, of course, love to eat a satisfying vegan meal. Given that many public institutions still don't provide vegan meals for those requesting them, visitors will be able to sign a petition and push for greater human rights.

Many associations with business related to sustainable living will be represented at ZeGeVege Festival, and each visitor will leave with a brochure with recipes and useful, interesting information.

ZeGeVege Festival has exceptional support from a number of institutions. For example, the minister of agriculture, Davor Romic, will be at the Festival on September 2nd to greet all the visitors.

Other representatives include: Diana Topcic Rosenberg on behalf of The Ministry of Social Policy and Youth, Irina Zupan, Deputy Minister of the Environment and Nature Protection, Jelena Pavicic Vukicevic, Vice-President of the Zagreb City Assembly, Gordana Duvnjak and Maja Drazic on behalf of Croatian Agricultural Agency, Emil Tuk on behalf of City Department for Agriculture and Forestry, Marijan Maras, Head of the Department of Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development, Sandra Sikic, Deputy Director of Public Health, Maja Filipovic, Secretary of the Committee for Environmental Protection and Nature, Janja Zic in front of the Office of the Croatian Chamber of Crafts.

ZeGeVege Festival will be held as a part of the International Festival Veganmania.
