West Hollywood is going green with plant-based food now required at all city events, and animal products will only be available upon request.
The city council voted Monday to pass a resolution that will establish the new change that takes effect immediately. The resolution outlines how eating a vegan diet can help to fight global warming, citing research from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that reports plant-based meals can, on average, result in a 63% 'lower carbon footprint' than meals made with meat, dairy and other animal products.
A 2022 study from the World Health Organization's Collaborating Centre for Nutrition and University of Warwick's Medical School found that transitioning to a plant-based diet had the potential to reduce land used for food production by 76%. The same study reported that going vegan could also slash diet-related greenhouse gas emissions by 46%.West Hollywood will try to prioritize serving plant-based food from locally owned businesses when possible, city officials said.
