Vegan Life Market 2022

If you haven’t heard of sustainability, you probably live under a rock. If the word makes you think of big life changes, you might want to take a breather. Athenians, as the rest of the world, slowly but steadily turn towards more ecological and environmental practices in their everyday lives. Changing a Greek’s eating habits is much easier than you might think; a Mediterranean diet is strongly based on vegetables and fruit and leans more towards vegetarianism and veganism than meat consumption. Perhaps that’s one of the reasons behind the great success of the Vegan Life Festival that pops around Athens once a year; well, that and the festival’s glorious abundance in vegan products and services and its welcoming and inclusive character and community. Once a year is not merely enough however, so the festival’s new brainchild is Vegan Life Market, an open call to businesses, citizens and visitors who want to embrace a more sustainable way of life. Mingle with the herbivorous crowd of Athens, get a taste of the city’s green cuisine, stock up on ethical friendly produce and why not lend a hand while you’re at it - the organisers are always looking for volunteers.
