Mccartney narrates short film on climate change
Pop and rock legend Paul McCartney has narrated a new short film about the devastating impact of animal agriculture on climate change, “One Day a Week”. The film is a collaboration between the McCartney family's 'Meat Free Monday' campaign and French director Yann Arthus-Bertrand's Hope Production. It arrives ahead of the United Nations' upcoming Climate Change Conference.
“One Day At a Time” also features appearances from Emma Stone, Woody Harrelson and McCartney's daughters Mary and Stella. The short also features an unreleased McCartney song, “Botswana”, as well as selections from his 1997 classical album, “Standing Stone”.
In the film, McCartney discusses the massive amounts of greenhouse gasses animal agriculture produces and the increasingly unsustainable amounts of water, land and energy it requires. These problems, the musician adds, aren't landlocked either, with industrialized fishing wreaking havoc on marine ecosystems.
McCartney and his daughters launched 'Meat Free Monday' in 2009 with the goal of inspiring people to change their diets as a way to combat climate change.
