How to Become a Vegan - So you’re thinking about going vegan? Or maybe, you’re just looking to take small steps to lessen your impact on animals and our planet? Well great — you’re in the right app!
To start off, let’s talk about what vegan means and why people decide to go this route. This term refers to anything free of animal products (i.e. food, cosmetics, clothing, household items). It also refers to a lifestyle, with animal-loving philosophy at its center. People can make this lifestyle change for any number of reasons, but most people choose based on health perks, dietary restrictions, or preferences and/or as a moral statement against unnecessary animal cruelty and murder.
And what’s up with vegetarian or vegan — what’s the difference? Well that’s simple: vegetarians allow dairy and bee (honey, beeswax) products into their diets and products, whereas vegans stick to strictly animal-free diet and product preferences.
No matter your motive, any steps you take towards eliminating animal products from your life will immediately benefit the world!
A few highlights of an animal-free diet’s impact on our earth? Eliminating meat, eggs, dairy products, and bee-derived products from your life can help to reduce heat-trapping methane, which helps our atmosphere maintain a safe balance. You can also reduce the amount of water resources being used in the U.S., which currently sit at a staggering 50% being used to care for animals that are being bred for slaughter (aka for food). Another disturbing fact? Think about the finite nature of our planet — we only have so much space to work with — and consider that 30% of our earth’s real estate is used to raise animals solely for food. How’s that for impact? And that’s not even half of it!
