15 Oct 2019 --- A new report on climate change is urging the UK government to do more to promote vegan diets to help fight climate change – as Animal Rebellion protests continue this week. The behavior change paper, written by an Imperial College London academic Dr. Richard Carmichael, recommends plant-based diets as one of the three significant changes the UK must make, alongside lowering emissions produced by transport and heating. The report states that a shift to vegan diets is a “huge opportunity for consumers to reduce their carbon footprints and enjoy important health benefits for no additional cost.”
