A Kinder 2026 Begins: Turning Everyday Choices into Impact for Animals

Across India, thousands of everyday choices are quietly reshaping food systems, protecting animals, and building a kinder future. 

Through outreach and collaboration over the past year, those choices translated into reduction of millions of pounds of animal products, new institutions taking action, students trying vegan, and future chefs graduating with the skills to cook plant-based food. 

Green Tuesday Initiative Reaches the ‘21 Million’ Milestone


Since launching the Green Tuesday Initiative in 2018, we have helped reduce over 21 million pounds of animal products by partnering with 85+ institutions across India and Vietnam. 

  • 2.2 million pounds of animal product reduction through new commitments and 5 million pounds through renewed commitments. This is equivalent to feeding 6 million people for a day.
  • 24 new institutions implemented the Green Tuesday Initiative.
  • 79% of existing partners renewed their pledge, deepening long-term impact.
