Ecotricity opens UK's first fully plant-based canteen

Ecotricity has launched the UK's first fully plant-based workplace canteen at its headquarters in Stroud, Gloucestershire, as part of its mission to combat climate change and promote healthy eating. Founder Dale Vince emphasized that the initiative demonstrates an alternative, sustainable way of eating, claiming that plant-based diets can be affordable, healthy, and beneficial for the planet. The canteen currently serves exclusively plant-based meals and plans to introduce breakfast options soon. Vince, who is also the chairman of Forest Green Rovers, noted the broader importance of such initiatives, especially in light of climate change issues that have seen significant global temperature rises. The launch comes amid discussions around sustainable eating, including a recent controversy over a campaign promoting plant-based milk to reduce carbon footprints. Vince advocates for sensible dietary shifts and believes that countries should adopt more strategies to encourage sustainable eating habits.
