🥗🌎 1 November – World Vegan Day

 “Healing Earth, One Plate at a Time” (2025 Theme)

🌱 A Day for Compassion and Conscious Living

World Vegan Day, celebrated every year on 1 November, was first established in 1994 by Louise Wallis, then Chair of The Vegan Society UK, to commemorate its 50th anniversary. Since then, it has evolved into a global movement that celebrates the ethical, environmental, and health benefits of a vegan lifestyle.

Veganism isn’t just a diet—it’s a commitment to a more compassionate and sustainable world. On this day, activists, food lovers, eco-warriors, and animal rights advocates come together to promote plant-based living for the good of all life on Earth.

🌿 2025 Theme: “Healing Earth, One Plate at a Time”

This year’s theme reflects the powerful connection between what we eat and the health of the planet. With climate change accelerating and global ecosystems under pressure, the 2025 campaign emphasizes:

  • Reducing carbon emissions through plant-based choices

  • Protecting biodiversity by avoiding animal agriculture

  • Promoting health equity with accessible vegan food systems

  • Ending animal cruelty through compassion-driven living

Veganism is not about restrictions—it's about choices that nourish both body and planet.

📊 Why It Matters: The Numbers Speak

  • Animal agriculture is responsible for 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions—more than all transportation combined.

  • A vegan diet can reduce an individual's food-related carbon footprint by up to 73%.

  • It takes over 15,000 liters of water to produce 1 kg of beef—but only 322 liters for 1 kg of vegetables.

  • Vegan diets reduce the risk of heart disease, certain cancers, and type 2 diabetes.

🎨 Artistic Perspective: Painting a Kinder Planet

At CRA ARTS, we believe that art can nourish minds like food nourishes bodies. Here’s how you can creatively express the spirit of veganism:

  • Canvas Series: “Compassion in Color” — Paint peaceful farm scenes where animals are free and nature thrives in harmony.

  • Poster Art: Showcase plant-based abundance—bursting with color, culture, and sustainability.

  • Minimalist Black-and-White Sketches: Contrast factory farming with nature’s gentle offerings: fruits, seeds, herbs, and life.

  • Symbolic Installations: A dinner table where every item (even the plates) is made from natural or biodegradable materials.

Art is a non-verbal yet powerful way to spark conversation, evoke empathy, and reimagine our relationship with food.

✅ How to Observe

  • 🌿 Try a vegan meal or challenge yourself to a day of plant-based eating.

  • 🐾 Support local vegan businesses, restaurants, and farmers.

  • 📚 Educate yourself and others: Watch documentaries like Cowspiracy, What the Health, or The Game Changers.

  • 🎨 Create or share vegan-themed art, recipes, or quotes online.

  • 🧠 Engage in thoughtful discussions about sustainability, ethics, and health.

Use hashtags like #WorldVeganDay, #GoVegan2025, #HealingEarthOnePlateAtATime, and #PlantPower to join the global conversation.

💬 Final Thought: A Plate Full of Hope

World Vegan Day is not about guilt—it’s about growth, awareness, and the simple joy of making choices aligned with kindness and sustainability. As the 2025 theme reminds us, every meal is a chance to heal the planet, protect life, and spark change.

Even small steps—like Meatless Mondays or switching to oat milk—make a massive difference over time.

Only Reading Books Creates Successful Minds

  Introduction – My Story When I was in Class 4 or 5, I developed a simple habit—reading books. Not to score marks, not for exams, but out of pure curiosity. At home, I often watched my parents teaching junior students with patience and passion. Their dedication inspired me deeply. By the time I was in Class 6, I started teaching myself. My parents appreciated my teaching style, and that moment changed everything. I realised something powerful at a very young age: Reading builds understanding. Teaching deepens it. This simple habit shaped my identity. It helped me become a confident teacher, a motivational speaker for students of Classes 10 and 11, and a mentor whose students—from Class 1 to Class 10—scored up to 95%. My foundation was never rote memorisation; it was reading with purpose . The Changing Attitude Towards Reading Today, the culture of reading has weakened drastically. Many students depend entirely on: guidebooks summaries ready-made answers social medi...

Deuteronomy 22:9–11: God’s Command and the Science Behind It

  The book of Deuteronomy contains many practical commandments given to the people of Israel—not just to guide their spiritual life, but also to protect their health, agriculture, community, and long-term well-being. Deuteronomy 22:9–11 presents three unique instructions: Verse 9: “Do not plant two kinds of seed in your vineyard.” Verse 10: “Do not plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together.” Verse 11: “Do not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.” To a modern reader, these laws may seem unusual. But when we look deeper, we discover that God’s instructions were scientifically sound, environmentally wise, and socially protective —given thousands of years before science explained the reasons. Let’s break down each command. 1. “Do Not Plant Two Kinds of Seed in Your Vineyard” (Deuteronomy 22:9) Biblical Purpose God wanted Israel to practice purity , order , and discipline in their work. Mixed seeds produced confusion, disorder, and poor harvests. God’s command p...

Redefining Beauty: Beyond Appearances

  Introduction In today’s fast-moving world, the word beauty has lost its depth. What was once a concept connected to values, emotions, and inner goodness is now mostly judged by outward appearance. As I observe the present generation, I realise that beauty is often misunderstood, redefined, and sometimes even misused. Through reflection and through the poem “Beauty” , it becomes clear that beauty carries a far deeper meaning—one that needs to be rediscovered and understood, especially by young minds. 1. Today’s Generation and the Changing Meaning of Beauty Today’s generation is growing up in an age of screens, comparisons, and instant validation. Beauty is often associated with physical features, fashion trends, and social approval. Likes and comments have replaced values and character. This narrow definition makes people forget that beauty is not something one shows , but something one lives . The poem gently reminds us that beauty is not limited to faces or appearan...
