Reducing intake of animal products can help lessen carbon footprints: a recent article on the United Nations report stated that “A global shift towards a vegan diet is vital to save the world from hunger, fuel poverty and the worst impacts of climate change.”*
The county of Durham recently proclaimed all Mondays as “Meatless Mondays.” In addition, over 60 colleges across the US have implemented the Meatless Monday program in their cafeterias.
By adopting Meatless Monday, Duke dining will offer, in addition to their standard options, vegan meal options for each standard offering on Mondays. We ask that these options be highlighted by way of promotional efforts on campus such as signs within dining services and on campus. We further encourage dining staff to mention or highlight these options to students.
Thank you for your consideration.

I have been meeting with the dining services team to discuss how we can realistically expand our plant based menu options. It is encouraging to see them listen to our perspective on sustainability even though we still have a long way to go.

Seeing the campus rally around these dining changes reminds me why I started this fight in the first place. This momentum proves that students are ready to lead the way toward a more sustainable future at Duke.

The dining halls really need more veggie options besides salad. It would be super easy to just add a few meatless meals on mondays!
love this idea. hope they actually do it and dont just talk about it.

WAY OVERDUE. Duke needs to get with the program and look at the environment for once.
