Hello all,
I've searched the forums, but not found any mention of The Plant Based Treaty, so I thought I'd give it a plug.
I'm a frustrated climate activist: my sister is in prison at the moment for taking part in a Just Stop Oil action, but I am left mother-sitting and fuming at the rightward drift of my country, as our new "prime minister" whores us to the oil industry.
However, The Plant Based Treaty, which mirrors The Fossil Fuel Treaty, attempts to have a positive effect on the climate catastrophe through legal means. To be honest, at this point, there's a part of me that thinks nothing but world revolution will save us, but you have to act according to your principles and I believe in the value of the rule of law, so...
The Treaty proposes reducing methane emissions by drastically reducing animal agriculture through international treaty structures. It's aimed at COP 27, and it's a real opportunity to pressure politicians at city and state level, if less at national. Los Angeles has a motion before its council to support it and pressure is being put on London, which would be an excellent slap in the face of Dolores Umbridge, our new fake PM.
I'm attending a Zoom meeting tonight to get more information. If you sign the treaty, you will get invited to their comms channels. I've also volunteered to staff a stall at a vegan trade fair in London in November. If you haven't already done so, give it a look.
