#### In questo giorno, 8 giugno, siamo orgogliosi di lanciare la campagna Ghostnet con Sea Shepherd per raccogliere US$100.000 che servono per gli sforzi di liberare e pulire il mare intorno alla Sicilia quest’ ottobre.

#### Il lavoro da fare è ampio e vasto, a cominciare dalla creazione di un database delle attrezzature da pesca abbandonate nel Mar Mediterraneo.

#### Questo database, creato da Sea Shepherd, può coinvolgere sia cittadini che associazioni subacquee che possono segnalare la presenza di attrezzi da pesca abbandonati e creare una mappa. Questa raccolta di dati sarà fondamentale per pianificare e programmare la rimozione degli attrezzi fantasma.

#### La nave di Sea Shepherd Italia M/Y Conrad e il suo equipaggio, insieme a un team di sommozzatori professionisti, saranno impiegati in questa campagna. Nelle località identificate, l'equipaggio utilizzerà scanner subacquei 3D per rilevare le attrezzature e mappare i siti di immersione. Il team condurrà anche una ricognizione per identificare gli attrezzi da pesca abbandonati, in particolare nelle aree di pesca intensiva con reti e nasse, poiché gli attrezzi si impigliano spesso su relitti e rocce. Questi saranno rimossi e avviati al riciclo per quanto possibile.

#### Per partecipare alla campagna, recensisci un piatto o un prodotto vegano e dona i tuoi crediti di donazione a Sea Shepherd. Questa campagna durerà tre mesi, fino alla fine di agosto.

#### Insieme, daremo forza ai nostri partner e ci impegneremo per un cambiamento reale e significativo. Grazie per il tuo supporto.

![Your survival guide to Veganuary](https://imagedelivery.net/olI9wp0b6luWFB9nPfnqjQ/res/abillionveg/image/upload/kl5nfvjf0nvjqykwl2m6/1641534760.jpg/w=700)

#### We’re well into January of 2022 and if you’re embarking on veganuary as someone new to veganism, we’d like to say congratulations, you’re on a great path. 

#### Here at abillion, we know full well how tricky going vegan can be. It’s a lifestyle adjustment that takes time, planning, fortitude and also plenty of encouragement. Here’s our survival guide to get you through the month, and more.


#### **Get organised: plan ahead**

#### There are 31 days in January and assuming you’re having three meals a day, that means 93 meals to plan around. The easiest way to make sure you’re having a vegan meal is of course, to make it yourself at home, but we all have social lives and busy schedules so the best thing you can do is to plan.

#### Start by forecasting which meals you have complete control over and which ones you might not. Yes, plans change but, at the very least, you gain some insight on your own schedule. After all, the adage goes that what gets measured, gets managed.

#### **Tell your loved ones**

#### The hardest times to go vegan are when you’re out with friends or loved ones who might find it a hassle to accommodate your dietary change. Telling them about your Veganuary goals as early as possible would help, and you never know – you might even get a supportive friend to join you on your journey.

#### **Research restaurants and eateries**

![vegan restaurants and eateries](https://imagedelivery.net/olI9wp0b6luWFB9nPfnqjQ/res/abillionveg/image/upload/a7icuvzl3pah3s3xzvtl/1641535210.jpg/w=700)

#### Weekends and social occasions will come up. You'll need to rustle up a list of places that you could hit up. Our app and site has an [explore function](https://www.abillion.com/explore) to help you find community-driven recommendations of vegan-friendly options around you, wherever you are in the world. Take charge and suggest these places to your friends – it helps that restaurants offering vegan dishes these days tend to be a lot more innovative than expected.

#### If you find yourself stuck in a situation where there are no vegan options on the menu, ask for the vegetarian options and don’t be afraid to ask the server if the kitchens could omit certain ingredients from your order. 


#### **Level up your nutrition**

![vegan nutrition](https://imagedelivery.net/olI9wp0b6luWFB9nPfnqjQ/res/abillionveg/image/upload/gmo0z3uf7ktbb9zkavly/1641535299.jpg/w=700)
Photo: [cottonbro](https://www.pexels.com/photo/close-up-shot-of-a-jar-of-soy-meat-6805051/)

#### Going vegan even for a month means you have to omit many of your usual food items. With that comes the need to understand vegan nutrition. In this respect, most vegans supplement their diet with B12 and vegan omega oil. For someone attempting to go vegan for a month, you might not need supplementation just yet but if you can, check in with a health professional.

#### Otherwise, read up on our beginner’s guide to [nutrition on a vegan diet](https://www.abillion.com/articles/vegan-diet-nutrition-guide). We also have a guide on getting [enough protein](https://www.abillion.com/articles/vegan-protein), member recommendations on [protein powders](https://www.abillion.com/articles/best-vegan-protein-powders), ways in which you can include it in your [daily meals](https://www.abillion.com/articles/cooking-with-protein-powder) as well as getting your [vegan fats](https://www.abillion.com/articles/vegan-fat) right.

#### **Bookmark recipes**

#### The best way to go vegan, as we mentioned earlier, is to cook your meals yourself. Fret not if you think you’re not the best in the kitchen – you’ll be surprised at how easy some recipes can be. We have a great [recipe section](https://www.abillion.com/articles) that’s updated weekly on new things you can try for a range of skills. There are easy snacks you could make like power balls, nacho platters and dips that take minimal effort. Those looking to impress can also look into this bundt cake recipe and even baklava. 

#### **Shop for groceries mindfully**

![Mindful groceries](https://imagedelivery.net/olI9wp0b6luWFB9nPfnqjQ/res/abillionveg/image/upload/olikmg3cfotejzhpdwuo/1641535382.jpg/w=700)
Photo: [Ron Lach](https://www.pexels.com/photo/teenage-boy-holding-paper-bag-with-vegetables-10397923/)

#### Now that you have a game plan for your meals and an arsenal of recipes, it’s time to hit the grocery store. It’s tempting to go overboard and try out all the different brands of [plant-based milk](https://www.abillion.com/articles/guide-to-plant-based-mylks) and meat alternatives – this is after all, a whole new category of food that exploded in number in recent years. But go slow and buy only what you’re confident you’ll use up so you don’t get overwhelmed with options. It’s always a good idea to prioritise whole foods and learn to cook with vegan protein staples.

#### **Stay in touch with your motivation**

#### Going vegan is a big lifestyle change so trying it out for a month is a great way to learn new ways of living. Some people are vegan for the animals, some for the climate, and some for their health. Some go vegan for a combination of those reasons. All are equally worthy. In times when it gets tough and you feel like giving up, it’s worth pausing and examining your motivations to keep going. And who knows, it might take you further than you realize.


Your survival guide to Veganuary

Damn I just looked at the Deadwood and Mahi websites and both of them actually use and sell a lot of real animal skin leather products. Sad that we couldn’t find brands that are truly embracing doing the right thing.

HZCORK is the manufacturer of this cork vegan leather. www.hzcork.com

Nothing spells sexy quite like saving the planet.

![vegan leather](https://imagedelivery.net/olI9wp0b6luWFB9nPfnqjQ/res/abillionveg/image/upload/dnirwcjdqfrt8juyrbxs/1648004751.jpg/w=700)

#### From ancient times, leather has been humanity’s go-to material for crafting everything from primitive footwear to rudimentary satchels. Today, it has morphed into a [US$350.7 billion industry](https://sg.style.yahoo.com/global-leather-goods-market-2021-110000428.html), making its way into an entire range of products.

#### Perhaps it’s testament to the mass appeal of leather, but the devastation it wrecks on the planet and the sheer number of animals sacrificed in the name of vanity is untenable. Surely we can all get dressed or carry our belongings without having to skin an innocent animal?

#### Thankfully there’s been a rise in companies making plant-based leather, and it’s fast being adopted across the fashion industry.

#### “​​As environmental concerns grow, major brands have begun backing the plant-based movement and producing vegan versions of men’s leather goods,” noted our [plant-based trends report for 2022](https://www.data.abillion.com/post/abillion-plant-based-trends-2022).

#### From boots to laptop sleeves and even a full leather jacket, here are our picks on the sexiest men’s vegan leather products out on the market right now.

### Desert Boots by Nae

![vegan leather](https://imagedelivery.net/olI9wp0b6luWFB9nPfnqjQ/res/abillionveg/image/upload/wjamnumfk37hgzjbdrlp/1648004904.jpg/w=700)
Photo: [Nae](https://www.nae-vegan.com/en/men/boots/lagos-pinatex-vegan-boots_p864.html?id=662&cat=0&pc=1)

#### Leather aficionados generally fall under two camps: those that like it sleek and shiny and those that love it looking aged and somewhat distressed. If you prefer the latter then we’ve got some good news: Pinatex, which is made from pineapple leaf fibres, has that similar crumpled texture. Portuguese shoemakers [Nae](https://www.abillion.com/brands/nae-vegan-shoes-10002664) turn this plant-based leather into a range of shoes and the lace up desert boots have caught our eye. Besides its rustic aesthetic, the Pinatex is also known to be naturally water-resistant, making it the natural material of choice for stylish footwear.

### Acacia Backpack by Labante London

![vegan leather](https://imagedelivery.net/olI9wp0b6luWFB9nPfnqjQ/res/abillionveg/image/upload/o1z3iwec0wujpowaur1h/1648004999.jpg/w=700)
Photo: [Labante London](https://immaculatevegan.com/collections/mens-vegan-bags/products/acacia-grey-unisex-vegan-laptop-backpack)

#### Backpacks have been given a fashionable facelift ever since high end labels like Saint Laurent and Bottega Veneta sent them down the runways in 2015. Gone are its collegiate connotations as grown men began matching these bags with their suits and formal work attire. Now in 2022, we’re happy to say that vegan leather versions are being created with minimal impact on the planet. This Acacia Backpack by Peta-approved vegan brand [Labante London](https://www.abillion.com/brands/labante-london-10040020) is one such stunning example. The leather is made from vegetable by-products and polyurethane while the interiors are crafted from recycled plastic bottles. Its straps are comfortably padded which makes this bag the ideal companion whether you’re on a long commute on the subway or on a long hike out in nature.

### River leather jacket by Deadwood

Photo: [Deadwood](https://www.deadwoodstudios.com/collections/cactus-collection/products/mens-river-cactus-red)

#### So you wanna look badass without involving the slaughter of any animals? Deadwood Studios is your answer. The Swedish brand has a range of vegan leather products made out of organic cactus – and that includes men’s leather jackets in four colorways: black, green, red and beige. The silhouette is closely cut to the body that almost recalls the heady rockabilly days of Dior under Hedi Slimane. The jacket stops right around the hip and sports a button flap at the bottom rather than a belted fastener to keep you looking sharp.

### Laptop sleeve by Oliver Company London

Photo: [Oliver Company London](https://olivercompanylondon.com/products/vegan-laptop-sleeve)

#### Post-pandemic, work has taken on a whole new meaning. Entire industries have now gone mobile and with that, comes the need to move around with your laptop safely. But ditch that generic (read: ugly) standard issue nylon bag and slot it into one of these sexy laptop sleeves by [Oliver Company London](https://www.abillion.com/brands/oliver-co-london-10074585). It’s crafted entirely out of apple leather – a material made from apple waste sourced from Italy’s fruit juice and compote industry. Despite the sleeve’s seemingly thin size, it comes with protective padding to keep your laptop safe from scratches and boasts a simple minimalist design that will look right at home both in a cafe and in the boardroom.

### The Classic Duffle by Mahi Leather

Photo: [Mahi Leather](https://mahileather.com/collections/leather-travel-bag/products/the-classic-cork-leather-duffle)

#### While most plant-based leather materials out in the market try its best to resemble non-vegan leather, cork leather doesn’t pretend to be anything other than itself. One glance and you would instantly be able to tell that it’s identifiably made from cork. This is a trait Mahi Leather has taken and gone to town with, producing an entire duffle bag big enough to fit all your belongings. This is the perfect bag, whether you’re using it as a hold-all carrier to fit your work belongings and gym clothes or as the weekend escape bag. It’s as sturdy as any other leather duffle bag with one major benefit: it’s a bold statement on sustainability that’s bound to get conversations started.

Editor’s pick: the most stylish men’s vegan leather goods

Great article thank you! I didn’t know a lot about the details of the candle 🕯 and how the majority sold are not vegan 🌱! Now I know what ingredients I need to stay away from when purchasing or even using ones that are gifted to me! 🥰💕🌱🕯

I never knew this Thank You so much I will be very careful when buying candles in the future!

![candles](https://imagedelivery.net/olI9wp0b6luWFB9nPfnqjQ/res/abillionveg/image/upload/gvrrhexpngbwjqkhvois/1651134215.webp/w=700)

#### Scented candles are unrivaled when it comes to creating coziness. They bring stale spaces to life with a warm glow and a comforting fragrance.

#### But you know what would make your living space cozier? If it was vegan.

#### Yes, unless that scented candle you own is specifically labeled vegan, it may have been made with animal derivatives. Even soy wax candles – common as they are in the market today –  are not always vegan. 

#### Manufacturers sometimes introduce animal-derived additives to increase their products’ burn time. It doesn’t help too, that unlike food products, candle makers are not required by law to list all the ingredients.

#### So how does one tell if a candle is vegan or not? Here’s our guide.

![candles](https://imagedelivery.net/olI9wp0b6luWFB9nPfnqjQ/res/abillionveg/image/upload/bh4vcxn9oknycvbrezxj/1651134411.webp/w=700)
Photo: [Oyster Haus](https://www.pexels.com/photo/flaming-candle-placed-near-twig-and-wooden-plank-7260244/)

#### **Let’s talk about wax**
#### The bulk of a candle’s makeup is wax and two varieties are made specifically from animal products.

#### **Tallow**
#### Tallow is animal fat and it was the source of candle-making since Roman times. The fat is sourced from around an animal’s kidneys – mostly sheep, cows and sometimes deer. While it’s rare that you’d find a candle made from tallow these days, it has been seeing a resurgence especially amongst small candle-makers, particularly in regions with access to farmland.

#### **Beeswax**
#### Beeswax was the most common material in candle-making before the arrival of soy wax. As its name suggests, it is derived from beehives and is thus, not vegan. 

#### **Paraffin wax**
#### First the good news: paraffin wax is vegan and the most affordable of all wax types. Unfortunately, it is also carcinogenic as it is made from petroleum. Burning it releases harmful chemicals into the air, which makes it as terrible for your health as it is for the planet. It may be cost effective but it is by no means sustainable.

#### **Soy wax**
#### On its own, soy wax is vegan as it is extracted from the oils of pressed soybeans. There are concerns that soy as a crop is heavily genetically modified and its cultivation requires pesticides and fertilizers. To err on the safe side, look for soy wax from organic sources. 

#### **Coconut wax**
#### Are coconuts a gift to mankind? Besides being a delicious source of food, its oils have multiple applications including in candlemaking. It burns slower than other types of waxes and emits none or very little smoke – making it the ideal material for vegan candles.

![candles](https://imagedelivery.net/olI9wp0b6luWFB9nPfnqjQ/res/abillionveg/image/upload/lnyg9wuagqbo6jsi6bcl/1651134546.webp/w=700)
Photo: [Anna Shvets](https://www.pexels.com/photo/crop-black-woman-pouring-wax-into-candle-mold-5760870/)

#### **So what makes a plant-based wax candle non-vegan?**
#### Besides the wax, consider the anatomy of the candle in its entirety. Wicks are almost always made of cotton or wood and the scent oils can either be essential oils or a synthetic fragrance. Since the former is man made, it’s always vegan while quality essential oils are derived from botanicals.

#### The tricky ingredient to pay attention to however, is stearic acid, which can be derived from both plant and animal sources. This fatty acid is used in candle-making for a longer burn time and allows the candle to smell stronger, for longer.

#### Other names you might find on candle labels include Stearamide, Stearamine, Stearates, Stearic Hydrazide, Stearone, Stearoxytrimethylsilane, Stearoyl Lactylic Acid, Stearyl Betaine and Stearyl Imidazoline.

#### When in doubt, always research the candle’s make and look for the source of stearic acid before making a purchase.

#### **Vegan candle brands**

#### If you’re looking for vegan candles, there’s no better place to start than searching it up on abillion for user reviews. Two well-known brands, [Yankee Candle](https://www.abillion.com/brands/yankee-candle-10015842) and [Bath and Bodyworks](https://www.abillion.com/brands/bath-and-body-works-5e40a2db6163120020fe08cc) already have specific candles listed thanks to our users while [Harper’s Candles](https://www.abillion.com/brands/harpers-candles-5f99e1454df01b00a8685d7c), a UK brand is proudly cruelty-free and vegan.

Aiutaci a rimuovere le reti fantasma dagli oceani con Sea Shepherd

Tutti abbiamo visto le immagini di tartarughe, delfini e persino cuccioli di foca impigliati nelle reti. È un problema enorme creato dall'industria della pesca a causa degli attrezzi da pesca che vengono scartati o abbandonati in mare aperto.

Questi materiali - chiamati reti fantasma perché in gran parte invisibili all'occhio umano - vanno alla deriva negli oceani del mondo per decenni, intrappolando indiscriminatamente la fauna marina e facendola morire di fame, soffocata o addirittura dissanguata da lacerazioni e infezioni.

Gli esperti riportano che ogni anno vengono abbandonate oltre 640.000 tonnellate di lenze, reti e nasse. È una cifra allarmante! E la cosa peggiore è che aumenta di anno in anno. Bisogna fare qualcosa, subito.

In questo giorno, 8 giugno, siamo orgogliosi di lanciare la campagna Ghostnet con Sea Shepherd per raccogliere US$100.000 che servono per gli sforzi di liberare e pulire il mare intorno alla Sicilia quest’ ottobre.

Il lavoro da fare è ampio e vasto, a cominciare dalla creazione di un database delle attrezzature da pesca abbandonate nel Mar Mediterraneo.

Questo database, creato da Sea Shepherd, può coinvolgere sia cittadini che associazioni subacquee che possono segnalare la presenza di attrezzi da pesca abbandonati e creare una mappa. Questa raccolta di dati sarà fondamentale per pianificare e programmare la rimozione degli attrezzi fantasma.

Per partecipare alla campagna, recensisci un piatto o un prodotto vegano e dona i tuoi crediti di donazione a Sea Shepherd. Questa campagna durerà tre mesi, fino alla fine di agosto.

Insieme, daremo forza ai nostri partner e ci impegneremo per un cambiamento reale e significativo. Grazie per il tuo supporto.
