Paul recently filmed a short video urging people to keep in mind the environmental benefits of meat reduction. Paul said, "I'm very keen for them to understand the importance of a meat-reduced diet. This is because the livestock industry is responsible for a massive percentage of greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere."

A Message From Paul: Less 

Meat = Less Heat

Hey gang,

As you may know, the climate conference (COP21) is taking place in Paris at the moment 
and I’m very keen for them to understand the importance of a meat-reduced diet. This is 
because the livestock industry is responsible for a massive percentage of greenhouse 
gases in the earth’s atmosphere. You may also know that we have a campaign called 
Meat Free Monday which encourages people to eat less meat. Please check out our 
Meat Free Monday website at meatfreemondays.com  and, if you like the idea, tell your 
friends about it. Together we can all make a difference.

Love,

Paul
