Start the new year off with a healthy and compassionate start by participating in Veganuary on January 1! This annual event began in 2014 as a way to encourage people to try a vegan lifestyle for the month of January. It has since grown into a global movement with thousands of participants from all over the world pledging to give up animal products for the entire month. Whether you're already vegan or just looking to incorporate more plant-based meals into your diet, Veganuary is a perfect opportunity to challenge yourself and learn about the benefits of a cruelty-free lifestyle. So why not join in and make a positive impact on your health, the environment, and animal welfare?
