World vegan day is celebrated evry year on 1 November to encourage people to at least try and then follow the vegan diet or lifestyle by highlighting the benefits of a vegan lifestyle on the health as well as the environment.
World vegan day is celebrated to commemorate the formation of the The Vegan Society in 1944 when two members of the The Vegetarian Society decided to exclude food that were obtained or tested on animals from their diet. Then in the year 1994 it was made official by the then chairman of the Vegan Society.
On this day various vegans and vegan societies organise events and you can celebrate it too by trying a vegan recipe, hosting a vegan party or by simply following a vegan lifestyle if you think it can help you and the environment you are dependent upon.
