You are the Chairperson of the Student Union. In order to promote healthy eating, you are going to launch a Green Monday Campaign. Write a letter to all students to invite them to join the campaign, giving details of the campaign, explaining the reasons for holding the campaign, and persuading your schoolmates to join it.
Dear fellow schoolmates,
You are cordially invited to join the Green Monday Campaign. The campaign will be launched on the first day of school - Monday of course. The campaign will be a whole year event.
What is the Green Monday Campaign? The Green Monday Campaign is originally started by the Green Monday Group which aims to tackle climate change and global food insecurity by making low-carbon and sustainable living simple and practical. The Green Monday is about having no meat, but only vegetables because a vegetarian diet puts less stress on the environment. For as simple as trading in meat and seafood for greens only once a week, the amount of carbon emission reduced is very obvious.
Why Mondays? How does it benefit me? Monday as the first day of a week is chosen to welcome a change of pace in the mind and the body. At the beginning of the week, when intentions, plans and expectations are set, having a Green Monday symbolizes a wholesome start. Therefore eating fresh vegetables can make your mind refreshed after the weekend break.
Why should I join? Having a vegetarian diet not only can put less stress on the environment and can benefit both your health and learning. Cutting out meat such as lamb, beef, you have a low fat diet which can keep your body healthy and fit. In lessons, vegetables can help refresh your mind and keep you awake in class. You find it easier to concentrate too.
The Green Monday Campaign is partnered with the tuck shop which is going to provide vegetarian snacks and set lunch for students. On Monday, the shop offers a 50% discount on vegetarian food to support the campaign and encourage students to start the week ‘Green’. Then you can save some money and the environment in due course.
Finally, we can change the world dramatically if we could synchronize behavior change globally by unlocking the power of individuals taking small and easy steps. Be a vegetarian can save the environment and benefit yourself in many ways. As students, we can help save the world. Encourage your friends and family to join the Green Monday Campaign. We can raise awareness of the public and inspire people through this Campaign.
So, what are you waiting for? Be green and invite others to join the campaign!
Yours faithfully,
Chris Wong
The Chairperson of the Student Union
