UNAPOLOGETIC VEGTINO MARTIN STANLEY ADANSI My name is Martin Stanley Adansi and as a vegan activist, animal rights activist and a climate conscious individual, I stand for a life of non-violence and ethical living standards. I have been volunteering for environmental activities such as beach clean ups and also decided to make an impact on the people and climate by creating the necessary awareness of how a vegan lifestyle could reverse the climate catastrophe, health complications and also ensure a better wildlife environment. I have been vegan for three and half years which is something I’m super excited about, and that’s because of what I’ve learnt throughout the journey. There is stuff involved in veganism which is not being taught in schools so that gives vegans all over Africa the opportunity to spread the truth - the reality about the greenwashing from cooperatives. In view of this, I decided to involve myself in a massive advocacy group called the 44
FORÇA VEGAN
VIBRANT VEGAN SOCIETY OF GHANA(VVESOG). This vegan group is one of other groups in Ghana working tirelessly to create an ‘edutainment’ platform that would bring Ghanaians and folks from the diaspora to understand the essence of ethics over pleasure. I am a marketing specialist by profession but usually dedicate most of my time to volunteer and also educate non-vegans and other vegans about what it means for the world to choose a plant based system and reveal the benefits. My last presentation was on 11th September, 2021 at the VVESOG event which was massive because of the reaction from most of the attendees. Some folks felt terrible for playing a part in the exploitation and abuse of dairy cows, chickens and other farm animals.
