On Sun­day 1st Man­ches­ter Ani­mal Pro­tec­tion and Man­ches­ter Cli­mate Action held a free veg­an pic­nic in Pic­cadil­ly gar­dens..

We gave away lots of deli­cious food, and seedlings, includ­ing aubergine plants and pep­pers! Much of the food was donat­ed, some of it was skipped. We hung ban­ners and had plac­ards…

The over­all response was real­ly pos­i­tive, despite the rain! Lots of peo­ple came and talked to us for a long time, and the coun­cil even sam­pled some of our tasty snacks!

We did some guer­ril­la gar­den­ing in Pic­cadil­ly gar­dens, an area which is increas­ing­ly less like a gar­dens every; plant­i­ng every­thing from cour­gettes to rose­bush­es!

We also took our snacks into Burg­er King, Star­bucks and Cafe Nero, offer­ing cus­tomers free cake (and pro­pa­gan­da!)..

Sim­i­lar events hap­pened across the north in cities like Liv­er­pool and Sheffield.

This event was organ­ised as part of the day of action on food and cli­mate change, which is hap­pen­ing tomor­row (3rd June)…actions and events are hap­pen­ing over the next few days…more to fol­low soon!

Hope­ful­ly it will be the start of more com­bined events with MAP/MCA!
