Brief Description Meatless Monday is a global social movement which aims to encourage people to avoid eating meat one day a week. By substituting meat-containing meals with plant-based and nutrient balanced meals people are taking a step towards a diet that is not only potentially healthier but also more sustainable.  Individuals, schools, hospitals, workplaces and restaurants implement the practice in 44 countries. In the UK the campaign for skipping meat one day a week is known as Meat Free Monday.
