From a laptop in a Yorkshire kitchen to a perennial thorn in Piers Morgan\u2019s side, Veganuary\u2019s global success shows the plant-based revolution is unstoppable<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5th January, 2022 \u2013<\/strong> Veganuary, the global pledge to try vegan for 31 days, is today celebrating a huge milestone \u2013 a total of two million people have officially signed up since the pledge began in 2014.<\/strong> Some famous participants amongst the millions include wildlife presenter Chris Packham, TV presenter Jasmine Harman, actor Peter Egan and \u2018dragon\u2019 Deborah Meaden – all of whom are now Ambassadors for the charity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jasmine Harman<\/strong>, who took part in the first-ever Veganuary in 2014, says: \u201cI feel very proud and very privileged to have been with Veganuary from the start and to be one of their Ambassadors.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joining as an Ambassador for 2022, Deborah Meaden<\/strong> says: \u201cTaking part in Veganuary helped me change how I eat, and now my diet is the best for animals, the planet and for me. If the climate crisis, animal suffering or the loss of wild places and species concerns you, sign up, take part and let Veganuary help you, too.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Egan<\/strong>, who took part in 2016<\/a>, says: \u201cThe first thing which is wonderful about Veganuary is that there is no pressure. So you can, if you like, say \u2018ok I\u2019m only going to do it for January\u2019. I\u2019d be very surprised if you decide to do it for January and then not do it for February because it is such an exciting and interesting way of living in terms of foods. So, I think it\u2019s a wonderful imperative. And one that, of course, I totally support and I\u2019m very, very happy to be an Ambassador for.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris Packham<\/strong>, who did Veganuary in 2019<\/a>, is encouraging everyone who cares about climate change to take part this January as he fronts the charity\u2019s 2022 campaign video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
