Meta is previously known as Facebook. In 2019, Earth Society was
invited to participate in the 1st Facebook Earth Awareness Week
event. This is the 2nd time Meta/Facebook invited us participate in
their Earth Awareness Week event.
Meta has a Café (Cafe30) that serves food/drinks to their staffs. All Meta staffs have the privilege to eat breakfast and lunch at the Café for free.
During the Earth Awareness week (18 to 22 Apr), 80% of the food served at Cafe30 are Vegan! Meta cooks and culinary staffs really worked hard to create many vegan versions of eastern and western food to offer the 1050 staffs during the week.
On 21 Apr, Ms Jenny Lim and Ms Lifang gave us a guided tour around Café 30. They showed us the Western, Indian and Chinese cuisines offered to the staffs for Earth Awareness Week. We are pleasantly surprised that the cuisine is 80% vegan including vegan Pizza, vegan pasta, vegan Burger, Corn soup and even vegan lemon tart dessert. With so much vegan delights, it is no wonder that 80% of their staffs opt for Vegan meals during the Earth Awareness Week. :>
After the tour, we sat down to have a sumptuous vegan lunch with Ms Jenny and Ms Lifang. We discussed on the environmental and health benefits of providing vegan meals for the staffs.
After the meeting, Ms Jenny Lim requested Earth Society to do a calculation on the Green House gas Savings and Water savings that Meta achieved for the Earth Awareness Week event.
We calculated that by providing 80% vegan meals for 1050 staffs
for 5 days, Meta saves 13,440 kg of CO2 eqv and saves 5,638,500 lts of water
for this event!.
We are glad that companies like Meta is leading the way to reduce environmental impact of their staffs by providing vegan food for them. Let’s hope other companies join in the movement and create a sustainable future for the world. :>
