This June Animal Aid will once again be hosting our Summer Vegan Pledge.
The Summer Vegan Pledge is the perfect opportunity for those who are interested in trying a plant-based diet to do so, with all of the help and support they need.
It has never been more important for people to reduce their animal product consumption. The production of animal products, such as meat and dairy, is one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, water pollution, land use and fresh water use around the world. On the contrary, a plant-based, vegan diet requires less land, fewer resources, produces vastly fewer greenhouse gas emissions and the world's major dietetic organisations all agree that a well-planned vegan diet is adequate, healthy and can provide health benefits.
