WEST HOLLYWOOD—On Thursday, January 2, the city of West Hollywood announced that it is asking the community to participate in the global Veganuary campaign which asks people to try plant-based eating during the month of January. Any effort to try eating plant-based meals in January is welcomed.

According to a press release from the city’s website, the official Veganuary campaign website has various resources available including recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, as well as nutrition tips and impact reports. A 2010 United Nations report stated that a global shift towards a vegan diet is vital to save the world from hunger, energy poverty, and the worst impacts of climate change. Eating vegan food is more energy efficient and produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions than raising animals to consume.

In 2024, West Hollywood committed to offering vegan food as a default option at city events where food is offered to attendees and the city joined hundreds of corporations and nonprofits by joining the #veganuaryworkplacechallenge where staff can voluntarily join the Veganuary movement. City employees, residents, visitors, and local businesses are encouraged to join millions worldwide in trying some vegan meals this January.

For additional details about West Hollywood’s Veganuary initiative should contact Andi Lovano, Community and Legislative Affairs Manager, at (323) 848-6333 or at alovano@weho.org. For people who are Deaf or hard of hearing dial 711 or 1-800-735-2929 (TTY) or 1-800-735-2922 (voice) for California Relay Service (CRS) assistance.
