Top Charity Vegan Outreach, Millennials and Heartfelt Art Fix Earth

Loveland, CO, June 1, 2015 (Newswire.com) - “From climate change to animal abuse to rainforest destruction to antibiotic-resistant superbugs, Vegan Outreach has the shortcut to reduce these threats,” says donating artist Deidra Smith. Her art features the joy animals find in loving relationships, and she is donating 75% of sales from the online Art from the Heart gallery to Vegan Outreach during the month of June.

Outnumbering even the baby boomers, Millennials are making a difference.  The Vegetarian Resource Group reports that 42% of vegetarians are Millennials between the ages 18 and 34. A 50% increase in vegetarian students and a doubling of the percentage of vegan students was reported from 2005 to 2010 by the Bon Apetit Management Company that serves college and university accounts.

Vegan Outreach had already distributed booklets to over 13 million students when they set a record by reaching 1,032,000 students in the 2015 spring semester. That prompted Smith to donate 18 pieces of original art, along with prints, and create a keepsake portrait of the real-life lion who refused to eat meat nuzzling a lamb when the two lived together at Hidden Valley Ranch in Washington state.

“Vegan Outreach shows every single person can take a bite out of some of today’s most intractable problems each day,” says Smith.

1)    Reducing methane from animal agribusiness can quickly improve greenhouse gas effects driving climate change.

2)    Anyone can save about 1,100 gallons of water every day by eating vegan.

3)    A person can save about 30 square feet of forested land by eating vegan all day.

4)    Going vegan is a powerful way to opt out of destroying, polluting and killing.
