Vegan 2023
Here’s what you need to know about the vegan lifestyle in Australia for 2023. January is a great time to explore veganism, especially when setting goals for the year. You can make small gradual changes. Explore and experiment with this way of life.
A vegan life prevents cruelty and contributes to a more sustainable world. When you also emphasise whole plants, you can improve your health at the same time.
Veganuary
Veganuary is a charity registered in England and Wales, but the community is global. More than 629, 000 people signed up for Veganuary last year. The campaign united participants from 228 countries. Joaquin Phoenix, Billie Eilish, Paul McCartney, Alicia Silverstone, Eric Adams (NYC Mayor) and Mayim Bialik (Blossom & Big Bang Theory) are some of the ambassadors for this international opportunity.
Vegan Easy 30-Day Challenge
You could try the vegan lifestyle for thirty days. Vegan Easy is an Australian site that provides resources and support for this rewarding challenge.
Australian vegan groups share news and events
You can follow Vegan Australia and search for groups in your state or local area. Attend supportive gatherings and get recommendations for delicious local vegan foods. Support networks are important when you may be starting a lifestyle that is different from the people around you.

Learn about a healthy lifestyle to thrive in your ethical journey
Although veganism is primarily about the ethics of preventing cruelty, you may wish to make healthy choices. There are plant-based health advocates who share ways to get more energy, live a longer life and even prevent major diseases.
Consider environmental impact
You can support the world that is home to humans and animals. Plant-based foods are said to reduce the environmental footprint of a diet. When you reduce waste, especially microplastics, you could help the oceans and seas where creatures are trying to survive.
Share your experience
You can let people know about your vegan discoveries this year. Whether you tried a new food or other vegan-friendly product, someone might benefit from becoming aware of it. You could invite a friend to a vegan event or even just a vegan-friendly stall at a market.
