Ghent, Belgium is taking a stand to combat climate change by declaring every Thursday VeggieDag or Veggie Day! It is not compulsory but the entire town will be encouraging each other to cut out meat on Thursdays if not every day. On VeggieDag vegetarian meals will be served in schools and public buildings and restaurants will be highly encouraged to offer plenty of vegetarian options. What a great idea! Apparently other cities across the world are inspired by this idea and are working to create the same program for themselves.
