Meatless Mondays
Want to conserve energy and water, improve your health, save money, and fight climate change easily and painlessly? You can do it all by eating vegetarian one day each week.
The Cool Davis Interfaith Alliance for Climate Justice encourages faith communities to care for God's creation by foregoing meat on Mondays. Producing meat requires far more energy and water than producing the equivalent protein from vegetables, and it costs more and generates more greenhouse gases. So let's conserve by going vegetarian at least once a week.
Davis United Methodist Church is a partner with Cool Davis and is cosponsoring the Meatless Monday campaign. There will be beans and a large jar in the Fellowship Hall. Each time you eschew meat on Monday, put a bean in the jar. Let's see how fast we can fill the jar!
