LARELLA (Lakes Region Living Lightly Association) meets on  the third Sunday of each month at 6:30pm. Our next meeting will be Sunday, June 20th, and we will be meeting in the basement Meeting Room of the Unitarian Universalist Society of Laconia, 172 Pleasant Street, Laconia (a few blocks NW of the Train Depot downtown). All are invited.

Our next meeting will be a discussion of the health and environmental benefits of reduced meat consumption. Louisa Dell'Amico and Malik Haig, both vegetarians for 30+ years, wll be exploring the research about meat vs vegetarian diets, and wht studies show about switching to less meat consumption. Additionally we will discuss the environmental implications of a food system based on global trade in meat products, and what the implications of ctting back meat consumption would be. The meeting also heralds the formation of the Lakes Region (NH) Vegetarian Society, which will be a support and information group for those interested in learning more about reduced meat consumption, and how to cope withe the pressures directed at those contemplating becoming vegetarian.

Please join us to offer your input and ideas, and connect with others who also care about the environment and about our stewardship of the earth.

Our meetings begin at 6:30pm and generally run to 8pm. Whether your interests are in renewable energy, organic farming, or deep ecology, you will find like-minded folk here!
