Celebrating a Global Legacy. Creating a Sustainable Future.
Informed by public health, the global Meatless Monday Resource Center provides tools and tips to help you start a program and make an impact, no matter where you live. Join a 20-year movement to create a more sustainable food system for both people and the planet.
Why Meatless Monday?
Meatless Monday is a global movement that encourages people to reduce meat in their diet for their health and the health of the planet. Meat and dairy production have a significant impact on the environment, and diets high in meat can also negatively impact human health. By cutting out meat one day a week and enjoying more plant-based meals, you also join a global movement working towards a healthier and more sustainable future.
Start a Program
Promoting Meatless Monday in your city, community, school or organization is an easy and effective way to encourage healthy eating habits, while protecting the planet. Starting each week with Meatless Monday can lead people to eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and plant-based meals throughout the rest of the week. Learn how to get started today.
