Why this campaign?

The case for going
plant-based at Norwich

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 UEA serves is a choice between perpetuating this crisis or being part of the solution.

What can we do?

22,000 staff & students served across 13 outlets

Every plate is a decision UEA makes and can change. UEA has already committed to Net-Zero. 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 - and UEA can be next!

The petition text

To Univerity of East Anglia

The future is plant-based! We are Plant-based Universities UEA campaigning for UEA to transition to a plant based catering system. UEA is a leader in climate research and had made considerable efforts in improving the campus sustainability. With their own research backing the move toward plant-based living, it's essential the University follows through, and practises what it preaches! If we are to reach the UEA Net-zero sustainability goals, we must consider the food served on campus. Show our support, and sign this petition to transition UEA to a fully plant-based catering system!
