One Vegan Meal a Day Challenge

Committing yourself to replacing one of your meals with one vegan meal each day can be a real challenge, if you are new to this, relax and start by participating in the one vegan meal a week initiative.

If you feel ready for it, here are some facts that will help you make the effort and go the extra mile:

• Eating 1 lb. of meat emits the same amount of greenhouse gasses as driving an SUV 40 miles.


• An area of rain forest the size of seven football fields is destroyed every minute to make room for grazing cattle, but each vegan saves 1 acre of tress every year.


• More than 260 million acres of U.S. forest have been cleared to create cropland to grow grain to feed farmed animals.


• It takes up to 16 pounds of grain to produce just 1 pound of meat!


• Of all raw materials and fossils fuels currently used in the U.S., more than one-third goes to raising animals for food.


• You save more water by not eating a pound of beef than you would by not showering for an entire year!
