Dear Vegan at Heart,
Congratulations on completing 30 missions. Go, you!
It’s not easy to open up the emails, knowing it’s “another thing to do.” And it takes more effort to do them. But you did it! And as a result, you’ve maybe learned a little bit and been a little more vegan than you normally might’ve been. The animals have benefited, the earth has benefited, and hopefully your body has too.
You might’ve heard that vegetarians save 95 animals a year. If that’s true and you’ve been vegetarian for the past six weeks, you’ve saved about 10 animals. If you’ve been vegetarian half the time, that’s 5 animals. You also might’ve heard that switching from the average American diet to a vegan one for a year will prevent 1.5 tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere. How cool is that! (Literally.)
It’s hard to wrap one’s mind around numbers and concepts, but when you bring it down to the individual level, it’s easier to comprehend.
As a reward for your hard work, I think you’ll enjoy reading about Maxine, a cow who escaped a NYC slaughterhouse last year and will live out her life in a truly blissful place, Farm Sanctuary. I strongly encourage you to watch the heart-warming, very brief video clip that accompanies it.
Thanks again for helping me with this project and for caring about the planet.
Your fan,
Marisa
