The annual milestone marking another revolution around the sun is upon us. December 31st is a day in which we dare to dream and imagine all we can accomplish in the new year. As someone who cares about animals and detests the thought of them suffering, please consider making a resolution to take one small step toward a compassionate, plant-based diet in 2020.

All it takes is one meal. One meal without meat. One meal without eggs. One meal without dairy. While it may not seem like a single meal makes a big difference, to the chicken whose wings you decided not to eat, to the cow whose ribs you turned down, to the lamb whose leg you decided to substitute… to those animals, you made all the difference.

The future is not something we enter; the future is something we create. We all have the power to make this world a better place for animals. After every plant-based meal you consume, you can tick off your New Year’s resolution knowing you made the compassionate choice to leave animals off of your plate. What an amazing feeling!
