For this Mission, it’s time to get cooking! We’re taking a look at the way our food choices, particularly around meat, impact the environment. Keep reading to learn more!
Whether it’s bacon for breakfast, deli meat for lunch or meatloaf for dinner, we have a lot of choices when it comes to meat. But did you know that while we’re filling our tummies, we’re also contributing to climate change?
For most of us, the meat we eat comes from livestock (animals like cows, pigs and chickens) and we’re eating so much meat, that raising livestock has become a big source of greenhouse gas emissions, which are causing the planet to warm faster than it has in the past.
That’s why we’re challenging you to go meat-free one day a week!
Don’t panic – it’s easier than you think. Pick a day of the week that works best and then leave the meat behind. You can choose a meat-free pizza, make your spaghetti without meatballs, or go with a veggie burger instead of a beef patty. You can even have mac and cheese!
Once you’ve figured out what you’re going to eat, grab your chef’s hat because it’s time to get cooking! Choose one of the day’s meals to cook with your family!
When you accept the What’s at Steak Mission, you’ll get:
• a Mission brief with meat-free meal tips to help you on your meat-free day
• a recipe card to write down your favourite meat-free recipe
• instructions to make your own chef’s hat
• a list of meat-free alternatives to keep handy in your kitchen

i would accept but i am soon moving out of Canada so i am not so sure if i can still be a earth ranger
It is fine if you complete it out of the country. You will still be contributing to a better Earth. Anyways, it’s not like you are moving to Mars.

Hi Ranger Drona – I’m sorry to hear you haven’t received your Mission Brief yet! Keep your eyes posted on the mailbox cause sometimes it takes a few weeks to arrive! Please let us know if you do not receive it by the end of the month and we can look into this further. Keep up the great work 🙂
I Can’t wait!!!
i really liked making the chef hat and making meat free meal with my family. ps.i love earth rangers so much.
It was fun and easy to complete this challenge because I love animals and the earth and it was easy not to eat meat. My mom let me cook my own meal and it was fun.
It was really fun and hard to go 0.1 week without meat
We got really creative with our day, especially for lunch and dinner. We had cereal of breakfast, egg salad sandwiches for lunch and I helped make homemade macaroni and cheese for supper!
i got sent a mission brief but i already completed the mission whats up? please respond:(
Hi Ranger Kittycute! Looks like you’re ahead of the game! Since some Mission Briefs take some time to get to where you are, it looks like you completed the Mission before you were mailed the brief! Not to worry – you can keep the Mission Brief for your records and to make sure that you completed the Mission correctly 🙂
same with me but it is ok i really enjoyed making a meat free meal
easy
