Sir Paul McCartney and his family have launched a campaign urging people to reject meat and go vegetarian once a week to help combat climate change.

Together with his daughters Stella and Mary and a host of other A list stars, the former Beatle wants everyone to give up meat on Mondays.

The aim of the campaign – called Meat Free Monday – is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the world's livestock population, thought to be a major cause of global warming.

    • Many celebrities, scientists and professors support the fact that a veggie diet can help preserve our environment and resources. For example a veggie diet can literally end world hunger while preventing deforestation; soil degradation; oceanic dead zones; air and water pollution and mitigate climate change.

      Please visit the global meat free movement website. Your vote can help preserve our planet- http://www.MeatFreePetition.com. So join Sir Paul McCartney and let your voice be heard too - you can view his video message under the video section on our website. Also please help spread the word…together we can change the world. If you know of organizations that are willing to post our banner please email ClimateChangeConcern@gmail.com and let them know so that they can honor and recognize the group or organization that is supporting this petition.

      Thank you,
      Meat Free Team

    • This could potentially amount to a lot of positive change.

      I'm glad to see that Paul McCartney is still using his power for good.

    • I think that's awesome. I don't go out of my way to not eat meat once a week but it ends up happening anyways. it's a small but good step towards change without asking anyone to sacrifice anything big.
