Norway’s military is taking drastic steps to ramp up its war
against global warming. The Scandinavian country announced its soldiers would
be put on a vegetarian diet once a week to reduce the military’s carbon
footprint.
“Meatless Monday’s” has already been introduced at one of
Norway’s main military bases and will soon be rolled out to others, including
overseas bases. It is estimated that the new vegetarian diet will cut meat
consumption by 150 tons per year.
“It’s a step to protect our climate,” military spokesman
Eystein Kvarving told AFP. “The idea is to serve food that’s respectful of the
environment.”
