For 30 years Cavendish Venues, Central London Conference Venues, have progressively reduced their environmental footprint.
Major initiatives this year include:
· Opening London’s first Biophilic Venue
In recognition of the major environmental benefits of a vegetarian diet we are offering all conference organisers a £5.00 discount if all your delegates take a 100% vegetarian menu.
Please note this offer applies to new bookings only, and may be withdrawn at any time.
Benefits of a Vegetarian Diet
The population is set to rise to around 9.7 billion by 2050[1] and we are consuming the planet’s natural resources faster than the Earth can replenish them. Without change, by 2050, we’ll need the equivalent of three planets’ resources[2] to meet our current needs.
Reduce Carbon
Our planet is heating up. By replacing meat with vegetarian sources of protein, (nuts, seeds, beans and lentils, for example), we can reduce carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions. The whole food production process of farm-to-plate totals 26% of all global greenhouse gas emissions[3]
Save Emissions
By eating vegetarian food for a year you could save the same amount of emissions as taking a small family car off the road for 6 months[4]. You might not be able to stop using your car in day-to-day life, but you can offset a significant amount of those emissions by choosing to eat veggie food.
Land and Water
More agricultural land is used to raise cattle than all other domesticated animals and crops combined[5]. A vegetarian diet requires two-and-a-half times less the amount of land needed to grow food,compared to a meat-based diet[6]. Livestock in the UK eat more than half of the 20 million tonnes of cereal consumed. That’s over 50% of wheat and 60% of barley.[7]
