Some reports say vegetarians use half the amount of carbon their meat eating counterparts use.
This year I'm trying to reduce my carbon footprint at Glastonbury Festival and do my part to Stop Climate Chaos.

Comments on this pledge
Thanks to everyone so signing up. It may seem insignificant but small steps can change the world.
200 people was an ambitious target, but without ambition we'll never get anywhere very fast :)
I started this challenge and I'm going to finish it. Over the last few weeks i've pondered and researched all the criticism and arguments that i've come across.
I genuinely believe that lowering our meat consumption can make a difference, not just the the enviornment but also to our health as well. Balance.
One final push, for as many as of us as possible. Then off to Glasto I go :)
