Mazars and the Veganuary Workplace Challenge. Here's what you need to know...

Veganuary is here and we have been taking part in the Veganuary Workplace Challenge 2022.

What is Veganuary?

The challenge started in 2014 when the Veganuary organisation encouraged people to eat a purely plant-based (vegan) diet for the month of January. Fast forward to 2021 and?the Veganuary website reports ?that more than 500,000 people?signed up for the pledge.

We understand that going completely meat-free might be too much of a lifestyle change for some, so we are promoting the following options:

• ?? Full Veganuary
• ?? Meat-free Mondays
• ?? Meat-free Wednesdays

Fancy getting involved? Here are some facts...

It’s been calculated that if you stick to a vegan diet for one month you’ll be responsible for saving…

• ?? 124,900 litres of water
• ?? 84 square metres of forest
• ?? 273 kilogrammes of carbon dioxide emissions (that’s better than giving up your car for a month!)

"I don't know what to cook, where can I find vegan recipes?"

Alice Duffy's top tips for Veganuary

1. Remember why you want to do it. Animal cruelty, environmental impacts, health benefits, or just to challenge yourself!
2. Adjust meals you would normally have. For example, a basic white sauce can be made with vegan butter (I use Flora!), soya milk, flour, salt and pepper.
3. Don’t feel the need to have fake meat in every meal. Delicious, healthy and filling meals can be made without it! Meat alternatives are nice, but they’re processed and quite expensive if you’re having it every day.
4. Pack all your meals with vegetables for maximum heath benefits.

Happy Veganuary!
