Join us andFIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE WITH DIET CHANGE

Why?

Animal farming is a leading driver of climate change, deforestation, and species loss. It pollutes land, waterways, and air, and is so wasteful of food that we will struggle to feed a growing population, while it also causes suffering to billions of farmed animals. For the sake of animals, all people, our future, and this planet, we are calling on Pope Francis to demonstrate leadership on these issues by trying vegan for Lent.

Would you go vegan for a million dollars?

More importantly, would you go vegan to save the planet? Scientists report we have two years to halt mass biodiversity loss and 12 years to prevent catastrophic climate change. You can be part of the solution, and isn’t that better than money?
