Veggie Wednesdays Are Now Weekly!

In May and June of 2019, there was a lot of student work done to prepare the community for an increased frequency of Veggie Wednesdays. Increasing the frequency on Dover campus would reduce the consumption of meat by a further 2500kg a year, which is one of the most significant ways in which the impact can be reduced.

More work was carried out early in Term 1, with talks explaining the rationale for Veggie Wednesdays give to assemblies from Grade 2 to Grade 9. The "Climate of Change" theme for UWC Day also significantly raised student awareness and commitment to change. Many students in our community set personal goals of reducing meat consumption.

Starting from November 2019, Veggie Wednesdays will take place weekly. Community members can make menu suggestions to food@uwcsea.edu.sg send feedback to LEAF GC at leaf@gapps.uwcsea.edu.sg.

Work will now turn to encouraging students to opt for plant-based meals on other days of the week, along with work to improve the choices available.
