Making History
“You are never too small to make a di erence”
“We are risking future generations’ futures by continuing to eat like this. We need to change ourselves now because tomorrow might be too late” Greta Thunberg
Right now, history is being made as Greta Thunberg, a Swedish schoolgirl, is galvanising the world into taking climate change seriously - demonstrating anyone can make history.
Unless we change, the earth as we know it is likely to be history too. Greta’s message is we all need to make changes to reduce our impact on the planet - you may think that’s hard and you’re just one person, but it only takes a small change by many people to cascade into a big result.
Did you know animal agriculture is one of the leading causes of climate change, ocean dead zones, deforestation, loss of bio diversity and wildlife extinction?
One of the easiest and most powerful ways we can make a di erence is to adopt a plant based diet and stop consuming animal products including dairy.
If you’d like to make sure children like Greta have a future, be a part of the movement she’s inspired and the result could be amazing for you, your family and the planet.

All animals saved here have a sanctuary forever. We’re open for you to visit free of charge.
This is how you can help us. Top tips:
> Switch dairy for plant milks such as oat, soya and hemp. Try dairy-free ice cream, custard and yoghurt e.g Magnum Almond, Alpro and supermarket own brand. Vegan cheese winners include Violife and Tesco Red Leicester.
> Opt for plant powered protein. Try tasty vegan burgers, sausages and nuggets. These taste like meat but contain no cholesterol. Check supermarket frozen and free-from sections such as M&S Plant Kitchen, Tesco Wicked Kitchen, and Iceland no bull.
No need to miss out on taste, visit The Retreat café and try our delicious food! For more resources, check out: Veganuary and Livekindly.com
