Petition Action

Ban red meats from school dinners to reduce the UK's Carbon Footprint.

Petition Details

Animals that produce red meats such as Cows and Sheep produce methane gas. A cut in the consumption of red meat is recommended by many climate change activists including David Attenborough. This would support the Government targets of being Carbon Neutral by 2050.
