In this infographic we explore research by Dr Emma Garnett into vegetarian meal choices at colleges within the University of Cambridge. Emma explored the roles of availability and price in determining whether people would be more likely to opt for a vegetarian meal. This research rests on the idea that people can be gently nudged into choosing more environmentally friendly options!
