VEGANUARY EXPECTS TO SAVE MORE THAN ONE MILLION ANIMALS FROM SLAUGHTER IN JANUARY

“纯素一月”活动预期在一月份可拯救一百万多只动物

By ditching animal products this month, this year’s 350,000 Veganuary participants will also save the equivalent in greenhouse gas emissions as removing 160,000 cars from the road, Oxford researcher finds.

牛津大学研究者发现，350,000名人员参加今年的“纯素一月”（Veganuary）活动，在这个月完全摒弃动物制品，还可以减少（大量的）温室气体排放，相当于道路上减少160,000辆汽车。

This year’s Veganuary participants are expected to save more than one million animals from slaughter, according to research carried out by James Poore, an environmental researcher at the University of Oxford. Veganuary expects 350,000 people to take on its challenge to go vegan for the month of January and beyond, which will also amount to some hefty environmental benefits.

根据牛津大学（University of Oxford）环境研究者詹姆斯·普尔（James Poore）的研究结果，本年度“纯素一月”活动的参加人员有望使一百万多只动物免遭屠宰。今年预计有350,000名人员踊跃接受“纯素一月”挑战，在一月份及以后坚持纯素饮食方式，同时也会带来巨大的环境效益。

“We calculated the environmental impacts of the current diet and the vegan diet for every country globally using the latest environmental impact data—this includes everything from agriculture to food transport,” Poore said. “For the 350,000 people expected to take part in Veganuary, this would save as much greenhouse gas emissions as removing 160,000 cars from the road or about 400,000 to 500,000 single flights from London to Berlin.”

“通过使用最新的环境影响数据（涵盖从农业生产到食品运输的各方面），我们计算了全球每个国家的当前饮食和纯素饮食的环境影响结果，”普尔说道。“350,000名人员参加‘纯素一月’活动，可以减少大量的温室气体排放，相当于道路上减少160,000辆汽车，或者航班减少大约400,000至500,000次从伦敦到柏林的飞行。”

Veganuary launched in the United Kingdom in 2014 and counted 250,000 pledges last year. In 2020, the campaign expanded to the United States where food companies, restaurants, other businesses, and celebrities are currently promoting the campaign throughout January.

2014年，“纯素一月”（Veganuary）活动在英国创立；去年，本活动见证了250,000名人员的纯素誓言。2020年，这项活动全面推广到美国；在整个一月份期间，美国的食品公司、餐馆饭店、商界企业和名人明星都纷纷大力宣传促进“纯素一月”活动。
