As 2024 begins, now is the perfect time to try something new. So why not #TryVegan this January?
I have three reasons to be vegan - first, eating meat is bad for our health, literally poisoning us. Second, meat production is driving the #ClimateCrisis and global wildlife extinction. And third, not always obvious, it's really bad for the animals in the factory farming system. 1 billion animals a year in the UK alone.
For a food choice we don't need to make.
Whether you do it for the animals, for the planet, or for yourself - give #Veganuary a go. The @veganuary website has lots of great info to help you get started here: https://t.co/XEevgGzbjL
And remember, it's not an all or nothing thing, any reduction in animal consumption makes a difference. Just give it a go, it will change your life..:)

what I find overwhelming and very upsetting is the enormous shock that tens of millions are about to face as they realise the magnitude of the planetary crisis we are in. All we needed was for the media to tell the public the full truth and they would have demanded change. They did not. Instead they presented facts as theory and gave more airtime to deniers and shills. The media still aren’t telling the truth appropriately. I fear for peoples mental health as they wake up. This David Attenborough clip is already out of date as things are changing far faster than he said even then #StormHenk
Why do we allow ‘Casino Capitalism’ to determine the price we pay for fossil fuels? Even when those fossil fuels are produced in our own country (we paid x10 more for our North Sea gas in the energy crisis than before). This is the result: egregious levels of profit & shareholder dividends, all of it siphoned directly from our energy bills (it even costs lives) - for no reason other than greed. Excused as just being how the markets work.
We can break free from this rip-off system with Energy Independence from our own green energy. There’s no global system setting the price of the wind and sun; we can make it here and price it here, and have permanently low bills - forever. Not to mention a shed load of jobs, twice as many for every £ than fossil fuel investment gives us.
Costa Rica, once home to rampant logging, has now almost doubled the size of its rainforest. They turned it all around within a generation. It can be done.
Protect people and the planet.

A ban on some of the most polluting single-use plastic items will come into effect today. So single-use cutlery, takeaway plates, & particular polystyrene containers are now OFF the menu, joining the other single-use plastic items that were banned in 2020: https://t.co/kZXbfvN23F
The magical Seahorse (Hippocampus)
Seahorses are one of the only fish that swim in an upright position & feed by a method known as pivot feeding. They have no teeth & no stomach
The natural world is staggering in it’s awesome beauty & variety
We MUST protect & take care of it
