Meet Our Supporters

“If you look at the climate crisis or the violence of our food system and feel helpless, thinking ‘I wish there was something I could do’- you can. Right now. Sign up to try vegan this January.”

During the pandemic, we have cooked all our meals at home and have moved to a completely plant-based diet in this house. When you prepare your own food, it’s interesting how your tastes change. And any animal products become less appetizing when you prepare them, from start to finish, yourself.

“Going vegan helps the environment, the animals, and your health. It’s a win win win! There’s really nothing to lose! I encourage everyone to try Veganuary this year.”

“Do you have a sense that you’d like to switch to a healthier, cleaner, kinder diet, but need more information? Ask questions, try things, do research, and make decisions based on facts, but don’t discount your feelings either. Veganuary is a great place to start exploring!”

“I’ve been vegetarian for over 40 years and have stayed with it because I believe that every meat-free meal is a win for animals and the planet. This is why I started Meat Free Monday with my daughters Mary and Stella, and it’s also why I support Veganuary. We’re all trying to make the world a bit better, so why not sign up, take part, give it a go, and see how you feel? It could be the best thing you ever did.”

“If you’ve been thinking about trying a vegan diet, and you love the month of January, then how on God’s green earth could you possibly resist a ridiculous portmanteau like ‘Veganuary’?”

“Despite all of our recycling, energy-saving, and water conservation (all of which are great), most people still don’t know that they can have the greatest impact on our precious Planet Earth by adopting a plant-based diet.”

“Switching to a plant-based diet was one of the best decisions of my life – not only from an athletic perspective. I would recommend that everyone try it. Ideally right now in January.”

“I recently became a mother. When I think of dairy, I can’t help but think of the mother cow and the relationship she’ll never have with her baby. We can put an end to this cruelty, and it starts with not buying dairy.”

“My commitment is not with tradition, but with compassion and that is why I support Veganuary.”

“I’ve loved Veganuary’s work for a long time because I know, having been a vegetarian who was intimidated by veganism, that so many people just won’t start because they think it’s too hard and that they’re going to fail. And Veganuary presents you an opportunity to do it with other people, with a community, and it’s not saying it’s a lifelong commitment, it’s saying ‘try it for a month and see how you feel’.”

“I have never eaten meat in my entire life and turned vegan 17 years ago. I was successfully able to build top of the world level muscle and endurance and not only survive but thrive in the -50C temperatures on top of Everest, not just once, but twice! Goes to show that no animal needs to suffer or die for our dreams to come true.”

“I am asking everyone to sign up for Veganuary because it’s good for the animals, our planet, and your own health. Being vegan is one of the easiest ways to make a positive change in the world, and everyone has a choice to participate three times a day.”

“Vegan for my body and mind, the animals and the future. It’s a decision that is in our control and everyone benefits.”

“I decided to go vegan because, as a chef I feel responsible for the food that I feed people and I believe we can do it in a much more compassionate way that can be just as delicious. Veganuary is an amazing cause, it’s an amazing organisation and anybody who can have fun with encouraging people to go vegan or just eat more plants is a great thing.”
