The Open Vegetarian Association (OVA).
Open Letter to Change the Business of Vegetarian Associations/Societies/Foundations/Unions/Organization, see also: List of vegetarian organizations.
“The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them.” Albert Einstein (non-vegetarian)
To whom it may concern
Dear interested vegetarian consumer or leader of any vegetarian Community around the globe!
The Open Vegetarian Association (OVA) idea/concept/draft is the first attempt, to bring all Vegetarian Organizations (Semi-Vegetarians, Vegetarians, Vegans worldwide (all continents) together with a few basic rules based on the view of an ethical consumer to work together on the #Agenda2030. Based on the idea of a Open society (concept from 1932) and Open data like Wikipedia, Veganwiki or similar Open Source or Open content projects.
I'm a global citizen and traveled all continents and (+50 out of 193 UN member states). The concept is different but borrowed from The Open Organisation Of Lockpickers which has a totally different view/approach and is not associated with me.
Thank you very much!

Reason
The existing organizations like
- IVU (registered since 1908)
- EVU (registered since 1988)
- APVU (not registered)
- SEAVU (not registered)
- TVA (registered since ?)
- Vegetarian Society (Singapore) (registered since 1999)
- Swissveg (registered since 1993)
- VEBU (registered since ?)
and missing similar organizations on a global level on the continents like
Just to show what dilemma we have (if there are people, please get in contact with [email protected]). Their views and believes have no expiry date.
Requirements
- To become a member, you need to read, understand, sign and support the 17 specific UN SDGs actively with your actions
- Participate in the Vegetarian Progress Index
- The deadline or expiry date of this organization is 2030 (starting from 2015), there will be a follow-up organization, but for the time being this organization is for the Sustainable Development of the Vegetarian Community worldwide.
- Accept and actively support the "Global Goals"
Global Goals
Creating a community which is independent form the following topics:
- Language (we use and accept English as the Universal Language)
- Religion (we don't follow any specific religious views)
- Culture (we are all Vegetarian people and haven an open mind for different views and understanding, there is enough other fights going on on this planet)
- To make sure that we all work on the same goals, we engage in the UN SDGs Agenda and make our volunteer work a valuable part of the next 15 years (If we are still here in this planet, we can create new goals), until than we stick on the #Agenda2030 by the UN.
Commercial Goals
- Support Free Education for Vegetarians and interested parties (making $ not allowed), for e.g. providing access to Statistics in your Region
- This organization does not impact your local business / memberships or commercial activities as long as they actively support the 17 specific SDGs ($)
- Make regional events happen ($)
- Promote the Vegetarian Label as Universal Label for a plant-based diet ($)
($) simply allows everyone to charge or not to charge money for that specific topic.
Status
- Phase 1 (2015): Drafting the idea, I'm collecting inputs from various Organizations to learn and add more specifics to this Open letter which is distributed to all vegetarian organizations, which I can reach via E-Mail, Facebook over the Internet and also Offline in person. If you want to contact me, please send your message to [email protected] Thank you for your attention/interest!
- Phase 2 (2015): Planing, sorting the details I get from everywhere.
- Phase 3 (2015): Action, founding associations on all continents and make this simple idea happen.
- Phase 4 (2016): Review, look that we implement what was originally planned
