Take The Vegan Pledge!
Most of our New Year's resolutions never make it past the Super Bowl. What's the point? Why even bother with this ritual year after year when we expect to fail? Your friends at In Defense of Animals would like to suggest a New Year's resolution you'll actually keep.

If your New Year's resolution could help save the planet and animals' lives, wouldn't you stick to it?
You can help save the planet by going vegan. Vegans take personal responsibility for making the world a better place by giving up meat, dairy products, eggs, and other animal-derived items. And they don't contribute to the needless suffering of animals.

Take the Vegan Pledge as your New Year's resolution and you might win free copies of One-Dish Vegetarian Meals and The Vegetarian Meat & Potatoes Cookbook by Robin Robertson. In One-Dish Vegetarian Meals, best-selling author Robertson offers more than 150 vegan recipes compiled from three of her classics (Rice & Spice, Pasta for All Seasons, and The Vegetarian Chili Cookbook). With 275 healthy recipes for vegan burgers, steaks, stews, casseroles, and other hearty favorites, The Vegetarian Meat & Potatoes Cookbook is tailor-made to convince those "meat-and-potatoes people" in your life who say they could never go vegan!
