When you stop to think about it, it is just another date, but there's something magical about moving into a new year, what to speak of a new Millennium. Like the "human animals" we are, we tend to stay within our "pack" and rarely venture out into the unknown. However, why not be a little more daring this year and move outside of our comfortable social circles. Who knows, we may find a new undiscovered field of fresh food, develop a life-changing relationship, or even touch someone's life! Are you ready for a bright new future? The new IVU Congress logo on the cover symbolizes a vision of a brighter future, a vegetarian future, a new dawn, a new beginning. The youth holding this "future" in their hands is offering this vision to those who will accept it. Are you willing to take the challenge and accept it? *- The Editor* **International Vegetarian Union News** Editor: [Paul Turner](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews/4367-members-council-paul-turner.html) - This email address is being protected from spambots.

The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly. Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value. - Hits: 4525 ## Schema ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu/hv-general-news-magazine.html?view=article&id=5679:news-march2000-index&catid=240","url":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu/hv-general-news-magazine.html?view=article&id=5679:news-march2000-index&catid=240","name":"IVU News - March 2000","inLanguage":"en","isPartOf":[{"@id":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html#archive"},{"@id":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu/hv-general-news-magazine.html"}],"publisher":{"@id":"https://ivu.org/#organization"},"description":"IVU News March 2000 Novajxleteroj - Boletines - Nyhetsbrev - Boletins - Bulletins - Rundschreiben - Buletine periodice - Novosti Deutsch - Español - Italiano Inside this issue Some items in this…"}]} ``` ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://ivu.org" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "IVU", "item": "https://ivu.org/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Resources", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "Interviews", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 5, "name": "History of the Vegetarian Societies", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 6, "name": "news", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 7, "name": "march2000", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 8, "name": "IVU News - March 2000", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews/5679-news-march2000-index.html" } ] } ``` ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Article", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews/5679-news-march2000-index.html" }, "headline": "IVU News - March 2000", "description": "IVU News - March 2000: IVU News March 2000 Novajxleteroj - Boletines - Nyhetsbrev - Boletins - Bulletins - Rundschreiben - Buletine periodice - Novosti Deutsch - Español - Italiano Inside this issue Some items in this issue were already on the IVU website, and are linked.
