Animals are not oursto eat, wear, experiment on, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way.
Sir Paul McCartney
Making changes in our lifestyles now will ensure a better world for the future. A small change that can make a huge difference is reducing meat consumption. Sir Paul McCartney's Meat-Free Monday campaign aims to reduce climate change by encouraging others to leave meat off their plates at least one day a week. In honor of McCartney's birthday on June 18, please join him in promoting a healthier planet and lifestyle and pledge to support Meat-Free Monday.
"I think many of us feel helpless in the face of environmental challenges, and it can be hard to know how to sort through the advice about what we can do to make a meaningful contribution to a cleaner, more sustainable, healthier world," said McCartney. "Having one designated meat free day a week is actually a meaningful change that everyone can make, that goes to the heart of several important political, environmental and ethical issues all at once."According to Environmental Defense, if every American skipped one meal of chicken per week and substituted vegetarian foods instead, the carbon-dioxide savings would be the same as taking more than a half-million cars off U.S. roads. It takes more than 2,400 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of beef, whereas it takes about 180 gallons of water to make 1 pound of whole-wheat flour. By giving up meat for one day each week, you can save money, reduce your environmental impact, help animals raised for food, and live a healthier life.

Pledge to Support Meat-Free Monday for Sir Paul McCartney's Birthday!
Pledge Text:
Animals killed for food are neglected, tortured, kept in filthy conditions, and often slaughtered in painful ways, such as having their throats cut while still conscious. I want to eat better, feel better, reduce my environmental impact, and stop supporting cruelty to chickens, pigs, cows, fish, and other animals raised for food. I pledge to honor Sir Paul McCartney and support Meat-Free Monday by giving up meat for at least one day each week.
