‘On Tuesday, 6 April 2010 Compassion in World Farming managed to secure a first for Africa, with Cape Town’s Health Portfolio Committee agreeing to officially endorse one meat-free day a week. This endorsement came shortly after the town of Ghent in Belguim made headline news in support of the cause. Government in Ghent have recognized the importance of promoting vegetarianism as a solution to addressing climate change and have declared one day a week “veggie” only day. And so many other cities have now joined this campaign including Sao Paulo in Brazil, Bremen in Germany, Baltimore City, San Francisco and Croatia – and the list continues to grow.’
