The United Kingdoms is pushing for a Meat-Free Mondays, encouraging people to reduce meat consumption in order to reduce carbon emissions. This eco-friendly campaign will not only help people eat healthier foods at least once a day, but it will also contribute to making this world a better place to live in.

Meat-Free Mondays’ goal is to persuade people that going vegetarian at least once a week will reduce greenhouse gas emissions from livestock, which is among the biggest contributor to global warming.

“The UK’s Food Climate Research Network suggests that farm to fork is responsible for between 20 to 30 percent of global green house gas emissions. Livestock production is responsible for around half of these emissions,” the Meat-Free Mondays’ website said.

Also, Linda McCartney Foods is showing its support by having a meatless recipe every Monday, starting with a vegetarian Bolognese sauce this week. On the campaign are other celebrities like Sheryl Crow and Coldplay’s Chris Martin.
