Pathshala, Assam – In a groundbreaking move towards sustainability, Pathshala High School has launched the Plant-Powered Thursdays initiative, in collaboration with NGOs A Just World, Samayu and Jan Briddhi Foundation. Every Thursday, all meals served at the school will be completely plant-based, free from any animal products. This initiative aims to replace a staggering 7,200 meals annually with nutritious, plant-based alternatives.
Plant-Powered Thursdays are more than just a dietary change; it represents a significant step towards environmental conservation and animal welfare. Every day a plant-based diet is chosen, it saves an animal’s life, conserves 4,164 liters of water, protects 3 square meters of forested land, and reduces CO2 emissions by 9 kilograms.
Anupam Kakati, founder of Jan Briddhi expressed enthusiasm for the initiative, stating, “This program not only promotes healthier eating habits among students but also instills a sense of responsibility towards our planet and its inhabitants.”
