Endorse The Plant Based Treaty

As a companion to the UNFCCC/Paris Agreement, the Plant Based Treaty is a landmark international treaty and first of its kind to put food systems at the heart of combating the climate crisis. The Treaty aims to halt the widespread degradation of critical ecosystems caused by animal agriculture, to promote a shift to more healthy, sustainable plant-based diets and to actively reverse damage done to planetary functions, ecosystem services and biodiversity.

Advocates around the world are speaking up for veganism in the hopes of creating a balanced world. A world that is livable with no cruelty, no famine, and healthier human populations... a world that benefits the animals, planet, and humans.

Here is a brief overview of veganism with informative links to a variety of vegan resources.

Lifestyle - Vegan choices in clothing, travel, cruelty-free products for oneself and home, and highlighting the ways that vegans spread their message through activism, art, and community.

Health and Nutrition - Exploring the positive benefits of a vegan diet and educating on what is involved in going vegan.

Animal Welfare - How eating plants can break the chain of suffering that is widespread in factory farming and the role of animal activists.

Environmental Protection - How meat production harms the planet and how plant-based eating can help to save it.

Youth – Their future is in our hands now, but our hands will not be here forever. The next generation is the future of new hands, the hands of today’s youth.

Social Justice - Understanding the core issue of every oppression, whether it is women’s rights, black rights, LGBTQIA rights, animal rights, or environmental rights, will lead one to see that all oppressions are linked, one to another, and are not separate issues.

Spiritual – Eating the flesh of another lowers and even destroys our spiritual consciousness. When we eat animal flesh, we are ingesting the violence, stress, and horror which that animal had to endure. Carnism does not align with the principle of non-violence. Carnism is violence, veganism is love.

As you see, above, veganism is much more than a diet. It is a way of life. Veganism is your true self, …compassionate-hearted, gentle-minded, and lovingly-helpful.

Living as a vegan is not a sacrifice at all. Sometimes transitions, like the transition from carnism to veganism can feel like a difficult hurdle. But ‘going vegan’ will truly improve your life through health and peace. It will take you on a journey to expansion of universal proportions where the essential value is, simply, a kindhearted existence.

We are at a very critical moment for the planet, animals, and humans. Join vegans around the world in ushering in a new era. An era that will ease the suffering of all sentient beings and the earth we live on.
