Hi, ich bin Yannick. Aufgewachsen im Schwarzwald, 2019 habe ich This Is Vegan gegründet, heute lebe ich auf Bali. Von hier aus treibe ich Tierschutzprojekte voran und reise um die Welt. Fleisch lag bei mir schon im Grundschulalter nicht mehr auf dem Teller, vegan lebe ich seit über 10 Jahren. Ein schlechtes Gewissen zu machen war nie mein Ansatz. Ich zeige lieber, wie einfach, lecker und entspannt das im Alltag funktioniert. Genau dafür gibt es dieses Online-Magazin und den Plantbased Podcast: Menschen inspirieren, sich für Tiere und Umwelt stark zu machen und vegan zu leben.
