Animal Friends Croatia invites you to join the Veganuary challenge this January

- Start the new year by thinking about your health, the environment, and animals

A fresh start of the new year is an ideal time to make good decisions, with the most relevant or beneficial to our health, the environment and animals being familiarising oneself with a vegan lifestyle. Animal Friends Croatia invites everyone to join the global Veganuary movement (compounded from vegan and January) and start 2025 by making a decision that will benefit all.

“Veganism is not just a trend but a sustainable and compassionate lifestyle which is attracting more people every day. By joining vegan challenges such as Veganuary, millions of participants worldwide decide to try vegan for one month every year. This challenge offers advice, recipes, and support for anyone who wants to take that first step towards a healthier and more ethical lifestyle, while all participants become members of the Veganuary Facebook group which offers additional friendly support,” stated Vlatka Balaš Cerjak, Project Coordinator for Animal Friends Croatia.

Twenty-five million people joined Veganuary last year

Balaš Cerjak pointed out an interesting piece of information – in January 2024, a total of twenty-five million people decided to take a step towards a healthier, more sustainable, and compassionate diet: “The record numbers emphasize the ever-increasing awareness on the importance of veganism. More and more people choose a diet which does not only help animals but also helps reduce the climate crisis and has a positive effect on their health.”

Research shows that a vegan diet can help reduce risk from many chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. At the same time, switching to a plant-based diet significantly helps preserve natural resources, reduces greenhouse gas emissions and protects biodiversity.

A rich supply of plant-based products

Veganuary is also a perfect opportunity to go on a gastronomic adventure. With the plethora of vegan recipes and products widely available today, learning about plant-based food has never been easier or tastier. Vegan products are suitable for everyone, and the rich supply of plant-based ingredients includes plant-based burgers, spreads, cheeses, salami and other types of plant-based meat and dairy products. Many supermarkets will be promoting their plant-based products at reduced prices in January.

“Veganuary is more than a challenge – it is a movement that is changing the world for the better. If you ever considered switching to a plant-based diet, now is the right time to join millions of people making the change. You can join the Croatian equivalent of Veganuary, the Veggie Challenge, which is available at www.veganopolis.net free of charge,” proposed Animal Friends Croatia.
