Meatless Wild About Atlantic Highlands, Peace Pointe, and the Atlantic Highlands Arts Council are teaming together to offer and endorse an easy and effective way to celebrate Earth Month in the Bayshore
Meatless Mondays through April
“We hope you will consider joining us in this effort to support our environment,” representatives of each of the groups encouraged local residents this week.
The non-expense, easy way of celebrating Earth Month in the borough is the idea of Morgan Spicer, a frequent outspoken preservationist, local illustrator and author, and a founder and principal in Peace Pointe, a non-profit organization with an aim for animal rescues as well as wildlife gardening and numerous other methods to show appreciation for nature and life as well as protection of it.
bN establishing Meatless Monday during April, the organizations have noted there are numerous meat and dairy alternatives , all available at Foodtown in the Atlantic Highlands plaza on First Avenue and Route 36, that highlight “cruelty-Free meals and include tofu, soybeans, butters, eggs, as well as Hellman’s plant based mayonnaise.
The idea gains support and endorsement by NIH, the National Library of Medicine which has reported in detail on plant-based diets and climate change, as well as infectious disease providers.
Some of the highlights of why Meatless Mondays are reducing meat consumption ‘s several significant environmental benefits, including reduced greenhouse gases since plant-based diets generate up to 50% fewer emissions than high-meat diets; Land Conservation since livestock farming requires vast amounts of land, which often contributes to deforestation; water preservation since animal agriculture is a highly water-intensive industry and Biodiversity Protection by lowering meat demand and helping protect natural habitats.
