Last week, Air India made one simple change that will save  hundreds of thousands of animals from short, brutal lives and untimely deaths - it stopped serving non-vegetarian meals. If we encourage other airlines to adopt this in-flight meal policy, we can save millions of animals, reduce global warming and increase environmental sustainability! Help us replace the outdated paradigm of  meat-based meals on planes with tasty, nutritious plant-based food. With Air India’s news hot off the press, we must act now on this chance to save millions of animals from cruel deaths!

Air travel is one of the most notorious carbon polluters, which harms wild animals by changing natural habitats and acidifying oceans. Offering a plant-based meal not only saves animals directly by not serving them, but saves more animals by reducing greenhouse gasses and carbon emissions from farming that harm wild animals and the planet. There is a large body of evidence linking meat-based diets with unsustainable levels of greenhouse gas emissions and carbon dioxide production. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that a meat-based diet uses more energy, land, and water than a plant-based diet. 

As an environmentally conscious company with a strong track record of promoting environmental sustainability, Virgin Airlines is ideally placed to lead the industry in a transition to plant-based meals. The time has never been better to call on Virgin to go meat-free!
