There are schools all over the world enjoying
weekly meat free days (Meat Free Monday, Meatless Monday, Veggie Day, or a similar initiative) including in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Finland, Germany, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan and the USA.
Headed by the Rt Hon Greg Barker MP and Mary and Stella McCartney, the campaign encouraged people to pledge their support for
a weekly meat free day, so that Greg Barker could present the results at the UN Climate Summit to show the magnitude of support — in just two weeks, tens of thousands of pledges.
Ultimately, children and young people will go on to make their own decisions about what they eat, but as long as schools offer students the opportunity to think, discuss and debate the issues as well as to cook and eat good vegetarian food,
a weekly meat free day provides them with the knowledge and experience with which to make informed, responsible and compassionate choices.
