Meat free mondays
How Green Is Your Diet? With the United Nations recent recommendation that if we all want to help decelerate climate change we should give up meat consumption for one day a week (initially, decreasing onwards) mono has decided to get involved in the UN`s campaign for meat-free Mondays. A 2006 UN report found that the meat industry produces more greenhouse gas emissions than all those from the suv`s, cars, trucks, planes and ships combined around the globe. A surprising statistic but one that allows us to have a massive impact on climate change by reducing our consumption of animal produce one day a week. All the food produced in mono is already free from any animal produce so we have decided to offer our customers a wee bit extra every Monday. Our offer this month is THREE COURSES FOR 10 POUNDS all day monday from 11am until 8pm - £10
