WEST HOLLYWOOD—On Tuesday, January 6, the city of West Hollywood invited the community to participate in the global Veganuary campaign that aims to get people to try plant-based eating during the month of January. (Vegan + January = Veganuary). Any effort to try eating plant-based meals in January is welcomed.

The official Veganuary campaign website has a variety of 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 provides is 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 has 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.

Veganuary in West Hollywood will include social media posts to encourage residents and businesses to come together to participate in this challenge to raise awareness about the health, environmental, and ethical benefits of plant-based diets.

To support residents and visitors interested in participating, the West Hollywood Travel + Tourism Board (Visit West Hollywood) published a dedicated website page with information about vegan and vegetarian restaurant options in West Hollywood. This resource showcases West Hollywood’s diverse and vibrant plant-based dining scene and provides helpful information for those looking to try new restaurants during Veganuary.
