Why this campaign?

The case for going
plant-based at Oxford

What is the problem?

57% of food emissions come from animal products

Food systems are responsible for around a third of all global greenhouse gas emissions, and animal products are the dominant driver. Meat and dairy alone generate more emissions than all the world's planes, ships, and cars combined. Every meal [YOUR UNIVERSITY] serves is a choice between perpetuating this crisis or being part of the solution.

What can we do?

[X,XXX] meals/day served at [YOUR UNIVERSITY]

Every plate is a decision [YOUR UNIVERSITY] makes and can change. [YOUR UNIVERSITY] has already committed to [insert specific sustainability/climate goal + year]. Going 100% plant-based is one of the most visible, controllable ways to actually deliver on that promise.

Is that even possible?

University of Graz went fully plant-based. Edinburgh hit 70% — and [YOUR UNIVERSITY] can be next!

The petition text

To the Vice-Chancellor and Senior Leadership of the University of Oxford

We, the students and staff of University of Oxford, call on the university to transition all of its catering outlets to fully plant-based menus. The food served on our campus is one of the largest sources of University of Oxford's carbon footprint. A plant-based transition is one of the fastest and most impactful climate actions the university can take. We ask for a clear, public timeline, meaningful collaboration with caterers, and student and staff wellbeing kept at the heart of the change.
