BREAKING: 850+ Academics & Notables Call For Plant-Based Universities An open letter signed by the likes of Chris Packham has just been released. The letter is calling on universities to transition to 100% plant-based catering in order to tackle the climate and nature crises.

The letter includes signatures from @CarolineLucas @GeorgeMonbiot @ChrisGPackham @EtienneStott @ZackPolanski @DaleVince @WillGreenpeace @Elisa_Allen @DamienMander @marisaheath06 @_HannahRitchie @DrAliceBrough and many more!

Thank you to @dpcarrington for breaking the story today over at @guardian @guardianeco The overwhelming support we have received over the last month confirms that our efforts to combat the crises we are facing are a step in the right direction.

@LouiseRawAuthor @ChrisGPackham packham? Oh please. Your demands are utterly pointless, and you know it. I realise that you know nothing about either climate change or ecology, but this is a ridiculous claim even for you.

@ChrisGPackham One thing I truly hated about Uni was the predatory behaviour of people like this trying to exert control over young minds for their own purposes, organisations like this should be barred from campuses

@ChrisGPackham Ironic that these 2 tweets came up on my time line following on from CP calling for all universities to go #plantbased this will have long term negative effects on our children’s lives-read the science, balance is everything!

@ChrisGPackham So all the students just go to the local kebab House for some imported beef and lamb. Do you realise how thick you are?

@GeorgeMonbiot @ChrisGPackham Some are allergic (anaphylactic) to “plant based food” bc invariably legumes are included in the mix I was lucky to make it to adulthood despite being ‘poisoned’ several times bc ppl don’t pay attention to ingredients Vegan food is not a ‘cure-all’ for every1 Always have options!

@GeorgeMonbiot @ChrisGPackham The word you are looking for is choice how would you feel if there was meat only universities no vegan or vegetarian options!

@ChrisGPackham Will be interesting to see if degree results are affected from the lack of creatine......

@ChrisGPackham "Plant based"! load me up with crisps and coke and a slug of seed oil dressed up as "oat milk" much healthier than beef😁
