World Vegan Day

It's World Vegan Day and it's extra special as it falls on a Monday, also known as...

Meatless Mondays!

There's a lot going on in the world, COVID-19, global warming and the climate crisis. As individuals we each have a part to play in the prevention of climate change. By going meat free once a week, or even once a month it can make a huge difference on the world. We can't all be perfect, but we can at least try!

WWF states on their website:

"Climate change is happening because of us.
 
Human activities are releasing excessive amounts of greenhouse gases into our atmosphere.
 
As a result, the globe is already one degree warmer on average than it was before the Industrial Revolution."

The main causes of climate change are:
 
-Humanity’s increased use of fossil fuels – such as coal, oil and gas to generate electricity, run cars and other forms of transport, and power manufacturing and industry
 
-Deforestation – because living trees absorb and store carbon dioxide
 
-Increasingly intensive agriculture – which emits greenhouse gases like methane and nitrous oxide

If you are keen to try going vegan/veggie/plant based, we have created a guide to help!
