🚨 European Parliament votes to ban ‘veggie burger’ & ‘plant-based sausage’.
Today in Brussels, MEPs approved restrictions on common names like burger, steak, and sausage for plant-based foods (355 for, 247 against, 33 abstentions).
Read our full statement 👇
The EU Parliament will vote tomorrow on whether it should be illegal to call this plant-based burger a 'burger.'
This is madness. Everyone can tell the difference between a plant-based burger and a meat one.

Animal agriculture is a leading cause of environmental pollution and ecosystem degradation.
Regulations that make it harder for consumers to make choices about plant-based alternatives only serves the livestock industry at the cost of people and our environment.
Act now!
European consumers can tell the difference between meat & plant-based foods.
Yet members of the EU Parliament will vote on whether to ban the use of terms like sausage or burger for plant-based foods?
Act to stop this attack on consumer choice:

Is green hydrogen the silver bullet for decarbonisation — or a trillion-dollar distraction?
@marklynas.bsky.social is joined by energy analyst, investor, and podcaster @mliebreich.bsky.social to unpack Bad Idea #24: “We’ll just use Hydrogen!”
The EU wants to ban words like “burger” + “sausage” from plant-based foods. So get ready for “protein tubes” + “alternative discs.” 🙃 Nobody’s confused — except Brussels. Consumers + the planet deserve better. #NoConfusion

Next week the European Parliament will vote on whether to ban the use of terms like “burger,” “sausage,” and “steak” for plant-based foods.
This would be nothing short of government engaging in cartel behaviour with the meat industry.
Just 6 days to act:

None, because it is not a burden to manage safely and it is actually not waste but fuel for the future.

After 50yrs of service, Tihange 1 nuclear power plant will shutdown for the last time at midnight.
The Belgian government, despite reversing their disastrous nuclear phase-out law, is allowing ENGIE to shutdown this vital clean energy infrastructure!
Last night we sent a clear message!
🚨 Next week the EU votes on banning words like burger, sausage & chicken from plant-based foods.
This is nothing short of government engaging in cartel behaviour with the meat industry right as we need to transition away from animal agriculture to fix the climate crisis.
Act now!
I really enjoy the wide-ranging (and often provocative) conversations Mark Lynas has on his @weplanetint.bsky.social podcast.
So I was very happy to join him again to talk more about climate change and what we do to fix it.

Global standardisation & deployment are how we have successfully brought down the cost & rollout time of other clean energy.
We encourage government, industry & civil society groups to increase cooperation for the deployment of nuclear energy to address the climate crisis.
The highest court in the EU just reaffirmed that nuclear energy meets the scientific and environmental standards to be included in the EU Sustainable Finance Taxonomy.

Hannah tackles some of the biggest climate myths head-on: that we’re doomed to runaway warming, that renewables can never power the world, & that going plant-based won’t make a difference.

Bad Idea #19 "greens are anti-science"
Finnish environmentalist & Green party member @teatrmn.bsky.social joins Mark Lynas to share her journey from feeling like an outcast in the environmental movement to helping make the Finnish Green Party officially pro-nuclear.
Bad Idea #18 "we’re addicted to fossil fuels"
@maartenboudry.bsky.social argues that moralising fossil fuels as an "addiction" obscures the complexity of the climate challenge & the role they've played in liberating billions from poverty, hunger, & hard labour.

Bad Idea #17 "rewilding VS the people"
Is rewilding just about wolves and wilderness, headset against farmers and rural communities, or something much more hopeful and human?
Mark Lynas is joined by Rebecca Wrigley, Chief Executive of @rewildingbritain.org.uk.
