It's Sir Paul McCartney's birthday today, and to celebrate, the legendary musician is imploring his fans to support Meat-Free Monday by adopting the practice in their own homes, thereby reducing climate change. McCartney has been a vocal supporter of Meat-Free Monday since 2009; the photo that accompanies this post is from a print campaign he did with PETA that year.
"Having one designated meat free day a week is actually a meaningful change that everyone can make, that goes to the heart of several important political, environmental and ethical issues all at once," McCartney said in a statement on the PETA website.
PETA has posted a pledge on its website; if you'd like to sign up to support Meat-Free Monday in honor of Sir Paul McCartney's birthday, click here.
