Since 2014, Veganuary has inspired more than half a million people in 178 countries to try vegan for the month of January – and beyond. According to the official Veganuary charity, 2019 has seen 200 000 people pledging to go vegan for the month, with even more pledges in 2020. That means at least one person has signed up to the cause every eight seconds.
