When you look at the price per kilo or per litre, everyday plant foods often come out cheaper than meat and dairy. Beans, lentils and plant milks can be some of the most budget-friendly items in the shop. 🌱

Check out our research from various Irish supermarkets.

Did you know that it’s much cheaper and more cost-effective to buy groceries as a vegan?

There is a myth that eating vegan food costs more. When people say vegan food is expensive, it is worth checking the numbers. 🧾

A shift to plant-based eating would free up land for wildlife and support healthier ecosystems.

🌱 Eating plant-based also helps conserve water, reduce pollution from farm waste and can use crops more efficiently so more people can be fed with fewer resources. πŸ’§πŸ½οΈ

Transitioning to a plant-based diet and going vegan helps reduce land use, protect habitats and lower emissions linked to climate change. πŸ’š

In Ireland, animal farming is linked with most biodiversity loss and it uses vast amounts of land that could be restored for nature. πŸ„πŸŒ

Go Vegan for the Planet 🌍

Did you know that the way we eat and live has a huge impact on the health of our planet?

Animal agriculture is a major driver of environmental damage, contributing to biodiversity loss, deforestation, pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. 🏞️🌊🌳🏭

Statistics - Irish Anti-Vivisection Society The Irish government’s HPRA has just released its statistics report for animal experiments in Ireland for the year 2022.

This has driven much of the increase in animal use and suffering, according to critics. The Irish Anti-Vivisection Society has strongly criticised the government and regulatory authority for allowing these numbers to rise and for what it describes as insufficient action to reduce animal suffering.

Statistics - Irish Anti-Vivisection Society The Irish government’s HPRA has just released its statistics report for animal experiments in Ireland for the year 2022.

Over 19,000 of the experiments were classed as causing severe pain or suffering, a rise of more than 44 percent compared with two years ago.

A large number of these tests involve lethal poisoning of mice for botulinum toxin products (brands in Ireland include: Botox, Bocouture and Letybo). πŸ’‰πŸ©Έ
