Vegan Life Magazine Jul-22 Zurück Ausgabe

A happy July to you all! As I write this from my current desk set-up in my garden, the sun
is shining, it’s 21°C and there are bees and butterflies everywhere. It is certainly a joyous time of year, when wildlife is buzzing and blooming and we are all looking to get outside
at every opportunity. This might be working in your garden, courtyard or balcony
(I recommend!), going for a walk on your lunch break or preparing your dinner using the BBQ. We Brits certainly love to grill outside, with the number of BBQs held in the summer rising from two a year to more than 10 in the last decade (thefoodpeople.co.uk). With UK BBQ season now in full swing, we think it’s the right time to share with you all our favourite grill party recipes and tips. Did you know that the average BBQ causes more greenhouse gas emissions than a 90-mile car journey? In truth, they can be awful for the environment if done without consideration, from the food cooked to the single-use tableware purchased. But don’t fret! As well as recipes and tips, we are here to help you to host the most sustainable and eco-friendly BBQ party you can. Make sure to read our special feature!
Also this month, we bring you an interview with two of the most inspirational people we have ever met — the individuals behind must-watch documentary, The End of Medicine. We chat to director and BAFTA award-winning filmmaker, Alex Lockwood (the man who created smash-hit 73 Cows), and former factory farm livestock vet and whistle-blower, Dr Alice Brough. The pair talk us through the informative and investigative doc, exploring the potentialities of antimicrobial resistance and future pandemics — what you read will make you want to share the vegan message further and wider than ever before.
