Get ready for a number of events highlighting the School's commitment to sustainable food during Green Week (7-14 February 2011).
On Monday 7 February 2011 we have a Meat Free Monday in the main SOAS refectory at Russell Square using guidelines from People and Planet (http://peopleandplanet.org/gogreenweek/activities/meat-free-monday).
On Wednesday 9 February 2011 we have a tasting of 4 Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified fish dishes in the Russell Restaurant from 1200-1400.
Come and find out about SOAS' work as Champions of London's bid to become the world's first Sustainable Fish City (http://www.sustainweb.org/sustainablefishcity/).
