Heather Mills Tells UN Officials To ‘Eat Vegan’ If They Care About The Planet

Heather Mills joined climate activists at the Bonn Climate Conference to call for global officials to sign a plant-based treaty in order to save the environment. She led protestors in chants urging officials to eat vegan for their lunch and discussed transitioning away from animal agriculture towards plant-based foods at future climate conferences. The Plant Based Treaty aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from animal agriculture and has garnered support from numerous cities and individuals, including Nobel laureates and IPCC scientists.

Mills emphasized the significant impact of animal-derived foods on the environment, human health, and animals, calling for a transformation of the global food system. She criticized the absence of this issue from past COP events and highlighted the importance of addressing the production of meat, fish, and dairy in reducing CO2 emissions. Transitioning to a plant-based food system is seen as crucial in minimizing environmental degradation and addressing various global challenges such as food insecurity, biodiversity loss, and pandemics.
