“Let’s measure and reduce CO2 1.5℃ strategy”２. Reduction Version
Publisher：さ・え・ら書房
“Let’s measure and reduce CO2 1.5℃ strategy” (Publisher: さ・え・ら書房 (Sa-eh-ra Books)) was made for all the elementary schools in Japan.
The ways we can reduce our CO₂ emissions and help combat the climate crisis are shown in easy to understand illustrations. One of the actions introduced is to “re-evaluate at our meat consumption,” with “Meatfree Mondays” included in that section.
Meatfree Mondays are the initiative to not eat meat one day a week.
VegeProject also has promoted Meatfree Mondays, and was even able to conduct an interview with Paul McCartney, himself a longtime vegetarian and advocate of Meatfree Mondays.
VegeProject contributed photos of and information confirmation on the initiative to have Meatfree Monday lunches available Japan’s Cabinet Office cafeteria.
