Why Vegan? – Practising a more compassionate and sustainable lifestyle, with Hilary Wilson

There many ways of embracing vegan living and, in this talk, we’ll look at the main reasons for making those choices:

·       Animal exploitation

·       The environmental implications of animal agriculture

·       Health

We’ll explore the difference between a dietary vegan and someone who adopts a vegan lifestyle and all that this entails. We’ll also take look at the growth of veganism and how it is now easier than ever to follow a nutritious and delicious vegan diet.

Hilary Wilson has been vegan for 21 years, following in the footsteps of her 2 sons who chose veganism in their teens.

She trained as an Animal Aid school speaker 10 years ago and gives talks on Animal Rights and Veganism to students of all ages.

She co-founded a local vegan group, 3 Valley Vegans, based in West Yorkshire.

A retired special needs teacher, she finds, as most retirees, that there are never enough hours in the day!

7.30pm in the Denham Room of the Priory Street Centre, York YO1 6ET.
