标 题: Berkely有福了：Vegan Mondays
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Tue Sep 18 18:59:41 2018, 美东)
Officials in Berkeley, Calif., have voted to require vegan-only food be
served at city events and meetings that take place on Mondays.
The Berkeley city council passed a resolution last week to institute what it
calls “Green Mondays,” becoming the first city in the nation to do so,
according to ABC7.
Berkeley city councilmember Kate Harrison, who introduced the resolution,
told ABC7 that the move will help raise awareness about the negative
environmental impacts of meat consumption.
“I'm not asking people to give up meat, I'm asking us all to think about
what it is that we do every day, how we can reduce our meat consumption,"
Harrison said. “Almost a third of our climate change problem comes from
animal husbandry and the meat produced by animals and the pollution produced
.”
The city will partner with Green Mondays U.S., a national group dedicated to
promoting vegan diets as an environmentally-conscious choice.
ABC7 reported that the city council has not yet decided when Green Mondays
will begin, but that it is hoping to launch an awareness campaign about the
environmental impact of meat production by the end of the year.
Though Berkeley is the first city to implement Green Mondays, a number of
cities, towns and business nationwide have taken steps to reduce their
carbon footprint by introducing bans on some plastic products, like single-
use straws. | c******s
