According to a UN study, the meat industry is responsible for nearly 1/5 of the greenhouse gas emissions in the world. That’s more than all the cars, trains and plane combined.
A vegetarian diet isn’t just good for the environment—it can also reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes.
Vegetarian Chinese meal: 260g CO2
Chinese meal with meat: 520g CO2.
That’s twice as much!
If everyone in Hong Kong gives up meat one day a week, it would be like taking 86,000 cars off the road.
Green Monday aims to promote green lifestyle especially green diet by advocating and enabling people to take "Baby Steps to Go Green".
Green Monday is a project to encourage healthy, environmentally friendly living in Hong Kong. It starts with going meatless on Mondays — an easy and effective way to reduce your carbon footprint and improve your health. We also suggest other low carbon lifestyle changes to reduce your carbon footprint even more. It’s all about small steps, just one day a week.

Go ahead, give it a try! You’ll be surprised how easy it is to give up meat just one day a week. Join us by signing the pledge on the right:
