Meet Our Ambassadors

“Veganuary is a very important tool and movement to spread the vegan message to all people across the globe for environmental, animal welfare, health and many other reasons one may opt to go vegan.”

“Use plant-rich foods as medicine, to prevent, treat and cure disease.”

“I believe our future is dependent on humans being kind to both people and the planet. I am taking action and being accountable for the change I wish to see in the world!”

“I’ve been trying to incorporate more plant based food into my my diet, to explore and enjoy fruit and vegetables more. Veganuary is a perfect opportunity for me to stop trying and just do it.”

“If I can inspire one person in my lifetime to turn vegan, my soul will truly shine. And to show them it isn’t about sacrifice but about opening your heart and simply being kind.”

“I have been a vegetarian for 23 years, including my whole career as a professional mountain bike downhill racer. I’ve only been vegan for 1 year now. The change is big, and makes me wonder how much faster I would have been as a racer.”

“Why is it acceptable to treat any creature simply because they belong to another species as if they have lives that are not worth living? We share our land and country with a rich diversity of other animals and, by going vegan, each individual takes responsibility for inculcating an attitude of respect, compassion and caring for others, no matter whether they are human or non-human’.”

“I am an absolute animal lover and for that reason I have always battled with eating animal products. Being asked to be an ambassador for Veganuary is the perfect synchronous solution to my internal struggle with my need for animal protein vs. my empathy towards the planet and our furry counterparts.”

“I chose to stop eating meat when I was 9 years old and I haven’t looked back. Eating the flesh of a living being, knowing the process it goes through to reach my plate, I knew from a young age it was wrong and I couldn’t be part of it, I wish the rest of the world to agree.”

“Each year I ask, ‘How can I better what I am doing now?’ Veganuary serves as a personal reminder to continue to inspire my friends, family and community – because let’s be honest, sometimes that inspiration waivers over the course of the year – through living by example; by showing how delicious, simple, fun, enriching and transformative a vegan lifestyle can be.”

“Veganuary was an absolute lifesaver for me when I became vegan in August of 2015. The resources proved themselves both invaluable and inspiring and little did I know that one day I’d be part of this exceptional project a few years later. It’s a one-month commitment: totally doable and undeniable life-changing”

“I went vegan in 2014 after an orphan calf on the beef farm we lived on was sent to slaughter. I could no longer separate the food on my table from the beings I interacted with on a daily basis. The environmental and health benefits that a vegan lifestyle provides is just the cherry on top of my ethical reasons behind going vegan.”

“I feel veganism is a way for people to heal not only themselves, but the planet as well!”

“Everyone wants to change the world, and through veganism everyone can make a small difference in making the world a better place. That is why I am doing Veganuary.”

“I have been a chef for about 10 years and have predominantly been cooking and eating meat and I would love to explore more vegan menu options. In the past few years I have also taken a more serious liking to health, fitness and awareness and I have heard of the great health benefits of being vegan.”

“After almost 15 years of vegan living, I can guarantee that that those who make the change for life will utter the words we have all spoken…’I wish I’d done this sooner’”

“As a vegan, I strive to be thoughtful, aware and concerned about the impact of my choices and actions and how they affect others – animals, people and the planet. It is more than a diet, it is a compassionate lifestyle.”

“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.”

“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.”

“It’s been the best decision of my life. To know that I am contributing less to animal suffering of any kind makes me feel better as a person. And then to know that my values and my choices are now fully aligned has been amazing.”
