If you love guns, Whitetail deer, or even just want everyone to know you’re a horse enthusiast, Virginia’s the place for you. With 180 designs for personalized and commemorative license plates, the commonwealth caters to drivers of all sorts (well, except advocates of traditional marriage, it seems). But while Virginians who love hunting things have long been able to get a license plate celebrating that fact, vegetarians have largely been left without a way to tell drivers on I-66, “Hey, I love broccoli!” Until now.
The Richmond Vegetarian Festival, Vegan Action and Vegetarian Society of Richmond are joining forces to propose a plate design promoting the vegetarian diet. They need 350 prepaid applications for the plate before the end of November, though, to get the proposal to the General Assembly and DMV for approval. If you’re interested, all the info is here. If there were enough people interested in a “Parrotheads” plate, there must be enough vegetarians in Virginia willing to show their pride on a license plate.
