The 2020 Golden Globe Awards will feature an all-vegan menu, with a three-course dinner made with ingredients that exclude meat, dairy and eggs.

The decision came out of a desire to be more environmentally friendly and to raise awareness about the climate crisis, according to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which presents the Golden Globes. Animal agriculture is a major contributor to climate change, accounting for about 14.5% of greenhouse gas emissions, and is a significant cause of deforestation .

The climate crisis is surrounding us and we were thinking about the new year and the new decade, Hollywood Foreign Press Association president Lorenzo Soria told The Hollywood Reporter. So we started talking between us about what we can do to send a signal. We dont think well change the world with one meal, but we decided to take small steps to bring awareness. The food we eat, the way it is processed and grown and disposed of, all of that contributes to the climate crisis.
