Impose a Meat tax to help tackle one of the major causes of climate change.

Petition Details

Livestock create more greenhouse gases than all the world's vehicles combined. The world's current eating habits are not sustainable with our growing population. An additional tax on all meat products will encourage people to reduce their meat consumption and shift to more plant based products.
