The administration at your school is considering adopting a campus-wide “Meatless Monday” policy. Specifically, they are interested in learning how different implementation levels (for example, full or partial) will impact finances, nutrition, and the environment from your school’s perspective. You may wish to consider how the social attitudes at your school could influence your findings. In order to provide guidance in the decision-making process, your team has been asked to perform an unbiased quantitative analysis on the impacts of adopting this policy.
*If your school already has a Meatless Monday policy consider this alternate version.
