Eating less meat benefits the environment, and awareness is growing as more people choose plant-based meals.
As an adult skipping meat for one week, you'd save: the equivalent of 7 months of shower water, driving 111 kilometers by car, the life of 1 happy chicken, and 7 months of a tree's work.
Ready to cut back on meat but unsure where to start? Join the National Week Zonder Vlees from March 5 to 11, an initiative by Isabel Boerdam of De Hippe Vegetariër.
Isabel says: "Eating meat or fish daily is outdated. A flexitarian diet should become the new standard in the Netherlands. This initiative aims to inspire change."
