Paul McCartney challenges Brits to 'meat-free Mondays'
Sir Paul is one of the most famous vegetarians of all time. In fact, he's probably one of the most famous human beings of all time. So, when he lays down a challenge to all of Britannia, you have to imagine that at least some people will listen. In a recent interview, Paul urged his countrymen to give up meat on Mondays, as a way to cut back on their carbon emissions. Apparently, the idea is already catching on in Australia -- where Earth Hour also started -- and the ex-Beatle thinks it's time for the UK to follow suit. McCartney's been a longtime vegetarian activist and recently modeled for PETA's Eat No Animal campaign. According to Paul:
"One of the most significant conclusions of the recent report on climate change was that we should eat less meat. This is not the Vegetarian Society that said that. It's the UN."[via Ecorazzi]
