When you transition to a vegan lifestyle, you make the world a more peaceful place! For the ANIMALS Love animals? Don't eat them! According to PETA, 198 are saved each year, per vegan person. According to Cowspiracy, 2.7 trillion animals are pulled from the ocean each year and 70 billion farmed animals are raised annually, worldwide. More than 6 million animals killed every hour for food. For the PLANET Eating a vegan diet could be the “single biggest way” to reduce your environmental impact on earth.
