Plant Forward. The only regional campaign of its kind.
Plant Forward is an annual two-week festival that celebrates the benefits of a plant-based diet and raises awareness surrounding sustainable fashion and eco-friendly, cruelty-free living
Organised by ACTAsia’s Compassionate Choices Network, Plant Forward helps people in Asia learn that the food we eat, and the choices we make in our daily lives, all have an impact on animals, people and the environment.
#PlantForward2024
Plant Forward celebrates the benefits of a plant-based diet and raises awareness surrounding sustainable fashion and eco-friendly, cruelty-free living. Activities are hosted by CCN member organisations in their own country to promote sustainable consumption and include webinars from health professionals, cooking competitions, meal-swap challenges and guest speakers.
Why is there a need for a plant based lifestyle?
We made two videos to help explain some of the issues surrounding Factory Farming and Climate Change and how they affect animals, people and the environment.
After the dust had settled, we wanted to say “thank you” for everyone’s hard work! Get ready for 2025!
A series of infographics featuring the incredible results was also made, so it’s easy to see at a glance how BIG these numbers really are!
