Introduce Meat Free Mondays once a fortnight to Haringey schools

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

The methane emissions created by the meat industry are monumental and contribute greatly to climate change producing 1/5 of greenhouse gas emissions globally, more than all forms of transport put together. By making a small change in what we eat as a collective we can help the environment.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The responsibility for food in schools is either the responsibility of your local council or the individual school (depending upon the type of school).

You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:

Your local council also has a petitions process - you can find out more about it here:
