What is Veganuary?

Started by a non-profit based in the UK, Veganuary is a campaign to promote vegan eating and bring awareness to animal suffering by pledging to eat vegan for January. More than a quarter of a million people have made their Veganuary pledge to eat vegan this month—eating a plant-based diet that eliminates consumption of all animal products. In addition to doing good for the planet, many people choose to participate as a health-boosting move to overhaul their diet.
