Meat Free Mondays


Did you know that if you go one day a week without meat then you could significantly reduce your carbon footprint over your lifespan?

The reason for this is that meat production consumes a higher percentage of the global water supply than any other commercial activity. Agriculture also uses 38% of the world's habitable land as well as 19% of the world's emissions of greenhouse gases.

We all know that by 2050 we will be struggling to feed a population of 9 billion which shows us that sustainable eating will be a hot topic in years to come.

Eating a diet that is lower in animal products means saving money and preserving our health with the added bonus of preserving the earth for years to come.

There are many delicious veggie recipes online so why not give it a go and have a Meat Free Monday? You may never look back...
