The trio adopted “Meat Free Mondays” and hope to save natural resources while improving their health with weekly plant-based days.

They’re asking for the treaty to be a part of the Paris Agreement, which reduces the world’s temperature and reduces carbon releases.

McCartney also believes in ethical animal treatment, and healthy and better lifestyles for people.

The Plant-Based treaty also minimizes animal agriculture and will promote reforestation.

The treaty also changes subsidies, taxes, and campaigns.
