With the New Year always comes hopes of new challenges and experiences, and Veganuary (veganuary.com) is a great way to challenge yourself from the very beginning. A record number of people signed up to Veganuary in 2017, and the movement has grown unprecedentedly since its launch in 2014. By targeting the month of January, this movement hopes to garner more success than other month-long pledges, due to it being at a time typically known for new resolutions and new beginnings. It’s not just a new beginning for you — it helps our animal friends too, giving them the opportunity to live a full and happy life.
But first things first — how do you go about it? Whether you want to dive right in, or you feel like you need to take more tentative steps by doing some initial research, both ways are effective. For some, the thought of going vegan permanently is tough and daunting. By trialling a vegan lifestyle for a month, it not only starts the ball rolling on thinking ‘outside of the box’ for dairy and meat alternatives, but introduces you to the wealth of options that are out there for vegans.
With the increasing number of dairy and meat-free options available in supermarkets, it has never been easier to make the switch to a vegan diet. What’s more, it is estimated that 85,100 animal lives were saved as a result of Veganuary 2017 — and who could object to that? As for the environment, going vegan for a month means that each individual saves 900 square feet of rainforest as well as over 33,000 gallons of water. This may seem like a ridiculous figure, but did you know that 660 gallons of water are used to make one hamburger? Taking part in Veganuary may seem like a small step, but it is actually a great big leap, and one that really could transform the way that you think.
