Veganuary Goes into Space as it Celebrates 10-Year Anniversary

Veganuary, the campaign encouraging individuals to try veganism for the month of January and beyond, celebrated its 10-year anniversary by sending a flag bearing its logo to the International Space Station. This historic event marked the first time a vegan campaign had ventured into space, with the flag spending 275 days in orbit and travelling over 112,000,000 nautical miles.

The idea was conceived by Richard Garner, founder of The Space Collective, in recognition of the future of spaceflight being aligned with vegan practices. The presence of veganism has significantly increased over the past decade, with Veganuary's welcoming approach playing a crucial role. With millions of participants from around the world, the campaign has truly become a global movement for a more compassionate world.
