NYC Promotes Plant-Based Diets to Reduce Food Emissions

👏 Incredible news! 👏 New York has pledged to incentivise lower meat more plant-based diets as part of a drive to cut its food-based emissions. New York hospitals already have plant-based meals as the default option (though people can choose meat if they want to), which has massively increased uptake. And NY schools have Plant-Powered Fridays. Now the city is extending practices to its 40-plus government departments too - and implementing a Corporate Challenge to get the private sector to incentivise more plant-based options to bring down emissions too.

Will other cities follow? 14 city mayors have already signed up to the C40 Good Food Cities Declaration, to align their cities' food with the Eat Lancet Diet - including London.
