In 2017, ProVeg and Plant Based News declared 22 August World Plant Milk Day!

This international event raises awareness of plant milks’ widespread availability, versatility, and delicious taste, while highlighting the fact that the consumption and production of plant-based milk is better for our health, the environment, and animals.

 

Year on year, more and more people around the world are choosing to drink plant-based milks for a number of reasons, including the environment, health, animal welfare, and for its delicious taste. World Plant Milk Day, encourages others to try plant milk and raises awareness about why plant milk is the most compassionate choice. 

 

Choose plant milk!

Choosing plant milk is one of the most significant steps an individual can take to reduce their impact on the planet. Dairy herds are responsible for dangerous greenhouse gas emissions which exceed their plant-based counterparts. In addition, producing milk is resource-heavy, requiring large amounts of land and water.

 

When it comes to human health, research shows that a shift to a wholefood, plant-based diet is good for you and can help prevent obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and certain types of cancer. 

 

The production of dairy also causes immeasurable stress to cows, animals who are intelligent and empathetic. By choosing plant milk, you are reducing the demand for dairy and reducing the suffering of these sentient animals.
