Brigitte Bardot Asks European Union For Vegetarian Day
Written by Vegetarian Star on November 14th, 2009 in Actresses, Environment-Eco-Green, Food & Drink.
Brigitte Bardot is asking the European Union to institute a Vegetarian Day to help fight global warming.
In a letter to European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barrosoa, Bardot said “a few weeks before the Copenhagen climate summit, I would like to draw your attention to the need to question cattle-farming, whose effects on the environment are of concern.”
Bardot backed her passionate writing with facts from studies conducted by World Bank and the UN Food Agency.
“If ‘developed’ nations were to reduce their meat consumption, there would be less famine, which kills almost six million children each year,” Bardot wrote.
“Our collective duty is to act at all levels, including by promoting a vegetarian diet,” she said
“A European ‘Vegetarian Day’ would be a strong symbol.”
Turning 75 years of age in September, Bardot shows no signs of “retiring” from her mission to save animals, the planet and human health.
