New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Monday that NYC’s public schools will be going vegetarian one day per week in order to save the Earth.

Local New York media reports that the “Meatless Mondays” pilot program, which brought vegetarian meals to around 15 Brooklyn schools, will expand city-wide for the 2019-2020 school year, and “all schools will serve vegetarian menus on Mondays” to the city’s 1.1 million students.
