Amelia Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Belgian city goes vegetarian ananova.com A Belgian city is about to become the first in the world to go vegetarian at least one day a week. Starting this week in Ghent, there will be a regular weekly meatless day in which civil servants and elected councillors will opt for vegetarian meals. The UN says livestock is responsible for nearly one-fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions, hence Ghent's declaration of a weekly "veggie day". Public officials and politicians will be the first to give up meat for a day. Schoolchildren will follow suit with their own veggieday in September. It is hoped the move will cut Ghent's environmental footprint and help tackle obesity. Around 90,000 so-called "veggie street maps" are now being printed to help people find the city's vegetarian eateries.

Administrators Gail Posted May 26, 2009 Administrators Posted May 26, 2009 I like this idea, too. I wonder what my Belgian girlfriend thinks of this... Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Derrell M Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Hmmmm... she might think that if cows are endangering the very survival of the globe we should kill and eat them, prolifically! Quote
