What better way to start the new year than by embracing a lifestyle that’s kinder to animals, better for the planet, and healthier for you? This January, people around the world are joining the Veganuary movement to explore delicious plant-based foods and discover the benefits of a plant-forward lifestyle. The Vancouver Humane Society is thrilled to partner with Veganuary 2025 to inspire you to make a difference—one meal at a time. 

As we step into 2025, there’s no better time to embrace a lifestyle that’s compassionate, sustainable, and health-conscious. Veganuary—a global movement encouraging individuals to adopt a vegan diet for the month of January and beyond—has officially launched its 2025 campaign. This year, the initiative is sparking conversations with its bold “Weird?” campaign, prompting us to rethink our food choices and the norms surrounding them. 

Why Try Veganuary? 

  • For the Animals: Reducing or eliminating animal products from your diet helps to spare countless animals from industrial animal agriculture (factory farming). Every plant-based choice counts towards challenging the conventional practices of animal agriculture. 
  • For the Planet: Switching to plant-based eating is one of the most impactful ways to reduce your carbon footprint. Plant-based diets use significantly less water and land and produce fewer greenhouse gases. 
  • For Your Health: Eating plant-based can help lower the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. Plant-based diets are associated with numerous health benefits, including improving digestion, increased energy levels, and a reduced risk of chronic diseases. Plus, the variety of fruits, veggies, legumes, and grains will leave you feeling energized and vibrant!
