Guest guest Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Some good news! A meat-free revolution in the Belgian city of Ghent! Meat-free revolution to help save the planet - Sydney Morning Herald The city council says it is the first town in Europe and probably the Western world to try to make the entire place vegetarian for a day every week. The Labour Party councillor pushing the scheme, Tom Balthazar, said: " There's nothing compulsory. We just want to be a city that promotes sustainable and healthy living. " Every restaurant in the city is to guarantee a vegetarian dish on the menu, with some going fully vegetarian every Thursday. From September, the city's schools are to make a meat-free meal the " default " option every Thursday, although parents can insist on meat for their children. At least one hospital wants to join in. http://www.smh.com.au/environment/global-warming/meatfree-revolution-to-help-sav\ e-the-planet-20090522-bi4q.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
