If You Want to Help the Planet, Then Go Vegan

Things we can do to diminish our harmful impact on the environment today and everyday: minimize our use of plastic and creation of waste, recycle, carpool, avoid palm oil... Oh, and go vegan.

Be An Environmentalist at Every Meal

It is only appropriate that on Earth Day (and everyday) we each look at how the food on our plate affects the planet. A plant-based diet is kind to animals and the environment! And with so many colorful and delicious options, why not try it? #EatPlantsNotAnimals

Happy Earth Day!

Animal agriculture is the leading cause of destruction of the Amazon rainforest, global deforestation, global greenhouse gases, ocean dead zones, species extinction, fresh water scarcity and waste, resource depletion, and soil degradation. Going vegan is arguably the most effective and impactful action every individual can do to help the environment. Make everyday Earth Day. Watch the eye-opening documentary Cowspiracy to learn more! 

The Surprising Truth:

Did you know that animal agriculture is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than all transportation combined? And that one hamburger requires as much water as 32 showers? We didn’t either before watching Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret! Be sure to watch it in spirit of Earth Day tomorrow!

Come visit Animal Place and Animal Place’s Vegan Republic at Compassionate Living’s 2016 Berkeley Vegan Earth Day!  Among other experts, our very own Marji Beach will speak at the event, plus you’ll get to check out lots of vegan organizations. Get all the information at here.

Animal Place’s Vegan Republic is hosting a vegan bake sale to benefit the sanctuary and we’re looking for bakers and volunteers! If you would like to bake a goody for the sale or volunteer at the event, please contact Stephanie ([email protected]). Learn more here.
