Rejected petition Have “Meat Free Monday’s” in schools
Every week, schools should have one day when they don’t serve meat. This will benefit the environment greatly. This is also a much easier way for everyone to take part in saving our planet.
More details
2,500 gallons of water are needed to produce only 1 pound of beef. Animal agriculture is responsible for 91% of amazon destruction. 60% of the world’s biodiversity loss is due to meat consumption.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Unfortunately we can't accept your petition as it isn't something for which the Government or Parliament are responsible. Individual schools or their governing bodies could make the decision to hold meat free Mondays, or similar schemes.
You could consider starting a petition on your local council's website or starting a local campaign to bring about the change you would like to see.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
