Happy New Year, and Happy Veganuary! Yes, it's the most vegantastic time of year when veganism gets a signal boost and companies wise up to the power of plant-based eating! To celebrate the beginning of this most wonderful month, Evy and Robbie are chatting to Toni Vernelli, Head of Communications at Veganuary. A vegan of 30 years, Toni’s welcoming and supportive style of activism exemplifies Veganuary’s message and she is a reminder why Veganuary is the best thing to hit the vegan movement since oreos!

Toni shares the #1 reason people ‘fail’ at Veganuary and how to avoid the most common pitfalls.
Toni talks about her early experiences within the animal rights movement, working with PETA and Ingrid Newkirk.
Toni has great advice for new (and existing) vegans regarding self-care and why it’s important not to hold oneself to unrealistic standards.
We learn about Toni’s ‘vegan origin story’ and discover that she grew up in a very non-vegan household.
Evy and Toni discuss the challenges of trying to share veganism with family members.
We discuss why a sustainable diet for the future must be a plant based one.
Do you have to be an animal rights activist to be a vegan? Toni answers this and several listener questions.
