By going vegan for a month, you save:

• 8000 gallons of water
• a quarter acre of land
• a quarter ton of soil erosion
• a half ton of polluting animal manure
• the CO2 equivalent of 270 pounds of greenhouse gases
• the energy equivalent of burning 7 gallons of gasoline, and
• 160 pounds of crops wasted on farmed animals.

Getting the protein you need in a vegan diet

Many people ask the question, ' but will I get enough protein on a vegan diet?'. 

Western cultures have promoted protein from animal products at every meal; therefore many people are concerned when starting out with vegetarianism and veganism that they will not meet the appropriate requirements on a plant-based diet.

Rest assured there are wonderful and varied choices for adding protein to the vegan diet, some of which you probably eat daily anyway.

The following links will help make it easy for you to eat a balanced, healthy diet as a vegan. Enjoy!
