Meatless Monday Resolution Passes In Long Beach - Meatless Monday

LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA, BECOMES THE LATEST U.S. CITY TO ENDORSE MEATLESS MONDAYS!

On June 2nd, The Long Beach City Council voted 7-2 in favour of a resolution officially supporting the Meatless Monday campaign. Long Beach joins Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C. and several other large American cities in supporting the international movement that aims to improve health and conserve resources.

Perhaps the most persuasive speaker at the initial discussion of the resolution was a very articulate eight year old named Genesis Butler. She wowed the council with her three minute message, stating that the water used to produce a pound of meat was equivalent to a few months of showering. She pointed to the historic drought that�s been gripping the state for nearly five years in urging the council to adopt the resolution. �Kids like me deserve a future where they won�t have to worry where they�re getting their water from,� Butler said.
