Meatless Monday for a Movement
Hat tip to Hungry Katie for a mention regarding the NPR story about Meatless Monday campaign. The premise is taking incremental steps to improve health and sustainability. The movement Meatless Monday has created a campaign to spread the word and idea of taking one day a week and eating vegetarian. This will reduce meat consumption by 15%. Until practices change, production of beef is a much more environmental resource intensive process than vegetarian alternatives. The premise is this small step will help improve our carbon footprint and health.
Several organizations and high profile celebrities / chefs have committed to the movement and it is worth learning about. The website provides resources and recipes and ways to get started if interested. Also check out the interview on NPR with Sid Lerner as he tries to make Meatless Mondays engaging.
