June 24, 2008 · Print This Article

Sir Paul is one of the most famous vegetarians of all duration. In fact, he’s probably one of the most famous human beings of all day. So, when he lays down a challenge to all of Britannia, you have to imagine that at least some humans will listen.

In a recent interview, Paul urged his countrymen to give up meat on Mondays, as a way to cut back on their carbon emissions. Apparently, the view is already catching on in Australia

where Earth Hour additionally started — and the ex-Beatle thinks it’s date for the UK to follow suit. McCartney’s been a longtime vegetarian activist and recently modeled for PETA’s Eat No Animal campaign. According to Paul:

“One of the most significant conclusions of the recent report on climate change was that we should eat less meat. that is not the Vegetarian Society that said that. It’s the UN.”
