Glastonbury Council declared a climate emergency in 2019 and pledged to be carbon neutral by 2030.
By endorsing the Plant Based Treaty, Glastonbury Council would be making a positive step towards meeting its pledge.
The council has already made significant progress by cutting out waste and switching to renewable energy. The council also acknowledges the importance of supporting nature by ‘Protecting and restoring forests, peatlands, wetlands, soils, water, and other natural systems, planting hedges and trees around the town centre.’
It’s time for Glastonbury council to take the next step and endorse the Plant Based Treaty!
What is the Plant Based Treaty?
The Plant Based Treaty puts food systems at the heart of combating the climate crisis. The Treaty aims to halt the widespread degradation of critical ecosystems caused by animal agriculture, to promote a shift to more healthy, sustainable plant-based diets and to actively reverse damage done to planetary functions, ecosystem services and biodiversity.
