Gyvi Gali - the only organization in Lithuania that seeks dietary change towards plant-based eating

Public health 

Lithuanians consume triple the amount of meat recommended by the World Health Organization. Inordinate meat consumption increases the risk of cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic illnesses. 

Environmental protection

Animal agriculture is well known to be one of the most polluting industries. Not only does it generate 13-18 % (results vary depending on calculations) of greenhouse gases, but it also is responsible for deforestation, the radioactivation of cultivated land, the use of vast amounts of water and other activities that harm our environment.

Animal welfare

Every year, over 800 billion animals (mostly aquatic) are killed in the world. The ones that are raised are kept in horrible conditions where even their most basic needs are not met. In Lithuania alone, close to 60 million land animals are killed every year.
