Some vegans and vegetarians are content to change their own diet and be done with it. I, however, am not one of those. I am in a constant state of trying to spread the VEG love, impacting even more animals by educating others. I hand out Vegan Outreach leaflets, work full-time for a vegan nonprofit, and am forever telling my non-veg friends and family about factory farms. I also spend time online spreading the message.

Need some activist inspiration? Here are some cool ways to be a digital activist:

1. Take5Save5.com — the Humane League of Philadelphia recently launched this site that offers an easy, free, effective way to spare five animals a life of suffering with just five minutes of online work. “Take 5 Save 5″ helps users connect interested meat-eaters with free vegetarian starter packs. Nice!

2. E-leafleting — With automatic friend-requesting software, I add new friends on MySpace every day to a special account designed to promote veganism. When I add someone, they visit the profile and the video “Meet Your Meat” starts right away, educating them about factory farming practices. It doesn’t take long, and I can run the program while doing something else. Email me if you are interested in learning more about e-leafleting and I will set you up!

3. Sharing a URL — One of the quickest ways to reach out to friends is by posting a vegan URL — such as www.VegStarterPack.com — in your status update on Facebook or MySpace. I also have this same URL in the signature of my email. After I post it, I often get a private message from someone asking more about being VEG!

These are the three main ways that I regularly spread the VEG message. What do you do to get the word out? Leave and comment share your methods!
