Dear SVC Atlanta Community,

During this year’s special season of giving, we have a special opportunity to make a powerful impact for Sadhu Vaswani Center Atlanta — and it starts with GA Gives Day on Tuesday, December 2, 2025.

Our goal is to raise $30,000. The fundraising campaign begins now until December 31. We kindly ask that you consider donating on Giving Tuesday, an annual giving day during which donations may be matched by certain corporations and by certain anonymous donors.

Together, we can close the year strong and ensure SVC Atlanta continues its wonderful mission.

Thank you for your leadership, generosity, and unwavering support.

Warm regards,
SVC Atlanta Leadership Team

A sacred space of peace, service, and learning for all, SVC ATL thanks you for your loving support!

PLEDGE FOR MEATLESS DAY - STOP ALL KILLING

Pledge to be Veg on Tuesday, November 25th (International Meatless Day) at https://www.sak.org.in

This simple pledge and action can save on average:

🌍 Environmental Savings Per Person, Per Day (Meatless)
• Water: You can save around 133 gallons (about 503 liters) of water. The production of meat, particularly beef, is very water-intensive, largely due to the water needed to grow animal feed.

• Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Carbon Footprint): You can reduce your carbon footprint by approximately 8 pounds (about 3.6 kilograms). This is often compared to the emissions saved by not driving a car for a certain distance.

• Land Use: Reducing demand for meat helps spare land that would otherwise be used for grazing or growing feed crops. For context, saving 133 gallons of water is more than the water used in the average daily 8-minute shower (which is about 17 gallons).
​

💡 Why the Savings Are So High

The major impact comes from avoiding the resources required for animal agriculture:
1. Feed: Animals like cattle, pigs, and poultry consume large amounts of feed (like corn and soy), which requires significant water and land to grow.

2. Methane: Ruminant animals (like cows) produce methane, a potent greenhouse gas, through their digestive process.

3. Processing & Transport: The entire supply chain for meat products, from farm to table, is resource-intensive.
Choosing plant-based options instead directly reduces the burden on these resources and reduces the pain and conflict that animals bear in the slaughterhouse.
