Meat Free Monday Luxembourg will be officially launched tomorrow, 20 May at the market on Place Guillaume II in Luxembourg-Ville from 09:00, making the Grand-Duchy the 37th country and counting to join the global movement.

Anne Faber, of Anne’s Kitchen is the Meatless Monday patron for the initiative in Luxembourg, and will be present tomorrow to explain the ‘objectives’ behind the campaign in the Grand-Duchy.

Fresh juices will be provided by Go Gusto and carrot muffins will also be available from Babette Bakery. Avocado.lu will be handing out a €50-valued Vegan Box.

Meatless Monday began in 2003, launched in association with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. In May 2009, Ghent, Belgium, became the first non-US city to go meatless. Shortly thereafter, Paul McCartney introduced the UK to Meat-Free Mondays.
