Petunia's Pledge - From Vegetarian to Vegan In One Month
Join us from Oct-1 to Nov-1 to move to a vegan lifestyle together with the Catskill Animal Sanctuary.
Dear vegetarians, vegan-curious, and everyone interested in a healthier and more compassionate lifestyle!
October 1st marks World Vegetarian Day. And we couldn't be more excited about people coming together to consider making lifestyle changes for the better. In partnership with Catskill Animal Sanctuary, we will guide you through a month-long information campaign about transitioning from a vegetarian lifestyle to a vegan one.
While it’s not as simple as crossing out a few letters of a word, we’ll show you the benefits of a vegan lifestyle in hopes of getting you started on your journey to a cruelty-free diet!
The first week of the campaign will start with information about the environmental impacts of eggs. Week two will focus on the health benefits of leaving eggs off your plate. Week three will reveal the realities of egg farming from an animal welfare perspective. In week four we’ll provide additional information on how to transition to a vegan lifestyle. We’ll provide lots of resources and links for delicious, egg-free alternatives, egg-free recipes and to help with the transition!
And please consider taking ‘Petunia’s Pledge’ below and enjoy the free live events!
See you throughout October.
Sincerely,
The Egg-Truth Team

Everything You Need to Know About Veganism in 2020
Plant Based News (PBN) annual documentary “Vegan 2020” showcasing how health, environmental, and ethical awareness growth around the globe.
When John Parker from the Economist declared 2019 the “Year of the Vegan” to indicate an increase in vegan product launches and lifestyle choices he couldn’t have predicted that 2020 would trump those numbers by a landslide. The constant bombardment with news about the Coronavirus and its roots in the wet markets in China made people rethink their food choices. With more time to cook healthier, at-home meals helped to contribute to a general shift in animal welfare awareness.
This passing year and the ongoing pandemic have given great momentum to the vegan lifestyle. The magnitude of this boost is beautifully explained in Plant Based News (PBN) annual documentary “Vegan 2020” showcasing health, environmental, and ethical awareness growth around the globe. These documentaries have been produced with growing success since 2015.
“What is exciting is that due to COVID-19, we feel that this year’s documentary would be unique – and considerably more exciting than previous years. Vegan 2020 aims to weave together the biggest events of the year in a powerful way that places the spotlight on topics not covered significantly in the past, such as pandemic risk and antibiotic resistance.”
- Klaus Mitchell, PBN founder and Director of the Vegan series.
Highlights this year are interviews with prolific figures within the movement, including advocate Earthling Ed, philanthropist and PBN investor Prince Khalid, and Emmy-winning journalist Jane Velez-Mitchell among others.
