For the planet - ~“Going vegan is far better for the environment than cutting down on your flights or buying an electric car" ~ “ Even the very lowest impact meat & dairy products cause much more environmental harm than the least sustainable vegetable & cereal growing” ~"Farmed animals contribute 14.5 % of human-generated greenhouse gas emissions- more than every car, plane, lorry and train on the planet" ~"Animals produce methane (86x) & nitrous oxide (300x) via manure- more potent than CO2 in terms of their warming effect"

For your health - "A vegan diet can help with weight loss, reduce the risk of developing Type II diabetes, may offer protection against prostate, breast and colon cancers , can significantly reduce the risk factors that contribute to heart disease and can reduce pain due to arthritis
There are psychological benefits of knowing you are being kinder to the animals and planet and many health benefits too!
