Yoselin This blog post is about 12 easy Veganuary crafts and activities for kids to get them to care about the Earth.
Even though Veganuary is most commonly known for changing your diet to a vegan plant-based diet for the month of January, Veganism is not just about following a vegan diet.
What is Veganuary?
Veganuary is a campaign that encourages people to try a vegan lifestyle for the month of January.
Participants pledge to follow a vegan diet, which means abstaining from consuming any animal products, including meat, dairy, eggs, and honey.
The campaign aims to raise awareness about the environmental, ethical, and health benefits of a plant-based diet.
Benefits of Veganism:
From an environmental perspective, a vegan diet can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, conserve water resources, and mitigate deforestation associated with animal agriculture.
Ethically, veganism promotes the avoidance of animal exploitation and cruelty.
Additionally, a well-planned vegan diet can provide various health benefits, such as lower risks of heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer.
It can also be rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
If done right, whether it be a plant-based breakfast, lunch, or dinner, they can all provide added benefits to the Standard American Diet.
