SenseOnline is proud to have signed up as a supporter of fashion designer Stella McCartney’s Meat Free Monday campaign.
Meat Free Monday
‘We care about what you eat and about what's happening to our climate, which is why we started Meat Free Monday,’ says the Meat Free Monday organization.
‘Meat Free Monday is an environmental campaign to raise awareness of the climate-changing impact of meat production and consumption. Many people are unaware that livestock production is responsible for 18% of global greenhouse gas emissions – that’s more than the entire transport sector.’
Celebrity Endorsement
‘We are all looking for a way to make a contribution to the preservation of our planet,’ says actress Gwyneth Paltrow. ‘Having a Meat Free Monday is a great way to do your bit, while eating in a kinder and more conscious way.’
‘I love eating meat,’ adds Richard Branson, ‘but I love our planet even more, so...’
So, this is What You can Do
You can sign up as a supporter of the campaign and pledge to do your bit by having one meat-free day a week.
‘In the future we are all going to have to change the way we eat,’ says McCartney. ‘We believe that it is possible to do things like changing our diets with a sense of optimism, joy and the satisfaction that you are really helping to make a difference in the world.’
