#NoBeef (@0beef)
The campaign works to (you guessed it) ditch beef from our diets. In particular, #NoBeef encourages schools and universities to drop beef and lamb, to build a greener, more sustainable, secure future and to send a positive global message. If you’re a student, parent, employee, they need your help to reach more institutions. Hop to it.
