As 2023 draws to a close, it’s an opportunity for us to look back on the last 12 months, and to reflect on the good and not-so-good parts. Was it a generally positive year, or would we say we’ve had better? What did we learn? What did we achieve? What were the highs and lows? Would we have done anything differently if we could have?
Whatever your 2023 was like – good, bad or indifferent – if you lived it as a vegan, pause for a moment to give yourself a pat on the back for the extraordinary work you’ve done this past year: for the many animals’ lives you’ve saved; for the untold suffering you’ve relieved; for the precious resources you’ve conserved; and for your dedication to protecting the planet. In particular, you can feel proud for having saved…
