World Vegan Day, celebrated each year on November 1, unites vegans globally to showcase the many benefits of a plant-based lifestyle for individuals, animals, and the environment.
This day serves as a platform to educate the public on veganism’s positive impact on ethics, health, and sustainability, inspiring people to consider adopting a vegan lifestyle for its accessible health benefits.
By celebrating veganism, World Vegan Day aims to foster a compassionate and sustainable world, encouraging a focus on plant-based foods and eco-friendly living.
Veganism has become a global movement founded on the principles of compassion, environmental stewardship, and health.
The Vegan Society, established in England, created World Vegan Day in 1994 to commemorate its 50th anniversary and celebrate the formal addition of the word 'vegan' to English.
The date, November 1, was selected to avoid overlap with Halloween and the Mexican Day of the Dead.
Since then, World Vegan Day has been observed worldwide to promote and honour the vegan lifestyle.
