20 September sees the Climate Protest come to Oxford. Whatever your view of the tactics the fact is that the University itself produces regular research on the impact of meat consumption on climate and health and is launching a wide campaign on sustainability over the next few weeks (#TruePlanet).
Consequently we feel that the Oxford Mathematics Cafe π should do something to both recognise this and align ourselves better with our research. We would add that the meat-free dishes are by far the most popular in the cafe. 'Flexitarians' are on the march.
SO:
On 20th September the hot dishes in the cafe will all be veggie or vegan with all salads vegetarian or vegan. There will be no red meat served at all including in sandwiches.
In addition from the following week, two of the three hot dishes will be veggie or vegan. And best of all if you hate salad and pulses, we plan 100% veggie/vegan days in the Autumn.
So if you are in town please come along. The Cafe is OPEN TO ALL all year round. And you will get a chance on Friday to give your views as we shall be using the white screens in the cafe as whiteboards to encourage comments (supporting or dissenting).
