Monday 1st November will be MEATLESS MONDAY in our school canteen! But don’t worry our catering manager has been working on a delicious menu so that there will be plenty of tasty alternatives for you to enjoy!
Eating a meat based diet isn’t great for the environment as animals – especially cows – create tonnes of methane each year
Methane is one of the dangerous greenhouse gases responsible for climate change
Eating meat amounts to 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Changing to a plant based diet – even just for one day a week – can really help reduce demand for meat & therefore reduce the number of animals we farm
Raising animals is also responsible for huge deforestation across the globe – so by giving up meat you can make such a difference to your carbon footprint since trees absorb CO2 – another dangerous greenhouse gas!
We have compiled a digital recipe book based on tried and tested recommended recipes submitted by pupils and staff from Greenfaulds High School in support of our Climate Emergency Action Week. It is available for free download here to help support families in switching to a plant based diet in an effort to reduce carbon footprint.
We hope that you enjoy these delicious recipes and manage to substitute at least one of your meals each week with a meat free meal. Who knows, you may even manage to make the full switch to a plant based diet – saving your wallet, health AND our fabulous Planet!
Everyone loves a food pic! So don’t forget to enter our Marvellous Meatless Meals food photography competition by Tweeting a photo of your Marvellous Meat Free Meal to @ghsecocommittee and we’ll retweet! Most likes = wins! Who knows who you’ll inspire – saving the Planet from even more methane gas!
