Wadham College at the University of Oxford has passed a motion to ban meat products and only serve vegan food for five nights a week on campus. Oxford is made up of more than 30 different colleges. Founded in 1610, Wadham consists of 150 graduates and 450 undergraduates. It was one of the first colleges to admit women and is known for its progressive attitude.
At a recent meeting, James Kenna, a fourth-year engineer, proposed the motion of serving vegetarian food for four nights. Ben Szreter, a second-year history student, then said to really make a change, it should be amended to five days of vegan food, which was passed.
The motion said, "Reducing the consumption of meat is one of many steps needed to reduce the effects of climate change."
