Shownotes

In this episode, we take a closer look at Veganuary and how a simple January challenge evolved into a global Vegan movement reaching millions each year.

We explore how Veganuary began in the UK in 2014, why its pressure-free approach resonated with so many people, and how participation has grown from a few thousand sign-ups to tens of millions worldwide. We also break down what the data actually says about its impact, address questions around hype versus long-term change, and examine how Veganuary influences businesses, food culture, and everyday choices.

Finally, we share practical ways listeners can raise awareness and support Veganuary, whether they are Vegan, Pre-Vegan, or simply curious about eating more plant-based.

This episode is about understanding the power of trying, the importance of accessibility, and why Veganuary continues to matter in the evolving Vegan movement.
