About Earthsave Canada

EARTHSAVE CANADA is a Vancouver-based registered charity. We advocate the move towards a more whole foods, plant-based diet for environmental sustainability, better health, and compassion toward animals.

We believe communities are stronger when they set a table that people from all cultures and beliefs can enjoy. Plant-based is the most equitable menu there is!

This year, thanks to the support and involvement of our members and incredible volunteers; Earthsave has been able to carry out our mission to educate and advocate more than ever before. We couldn't do it without you though, so please consider joining us, volunteering, or making a donation and help us make a difference.

Did you know?

Did you know that Earthsave Canada is NOT a vegan organization? Earthsave promotes a shift towards a more plant based diet. Plant based diets are those where themajority of calories come from plant rather than animal sources. Vegan diets are 100% plant sourced. Many Earthsave members, even at the Board level, are neither vegetarian nor vegan, but all strive towards eating more plant based meals for better health, environmental sustainability and compassion towards non-human animals.
