Ben & Jerry’s Release ‘Climate Conscious’ Vegan Ice Cream Urging Political Action Ben & Jerry’s has released a new vegan ice cream flavour with the climate in mind across the UK. To combine with the release, the company is urging customers to sign a declaration calling the government to step up its response to the climate crisis. The dairy-free flavour is a combination of coconut ice cream with chunks of chocolate and a cookie swirl. In coalition with the new flavour, Ben & Jerry’s teamed up with lobby group, The Climate Coalition. The 130-year-old company also sells vegan sausage rolls and steak bakes. The company urges customers to sign the declaration calling on British prime minister Boris Johnson to ‘lead the UK towards a healthier, greener, fairer future’. The call focuses on protecting green spaces and boosting clean energy. If successful, it is hoped the call will help the UK reach net-zero emission goals. Via its website, the company stated: “We need a resilient recovery, we need a clean energy revolution. We need jobs, housing, and transport which are fit for the future. “We need to ensure those most vulnerable to the impact of climate change are supported, we need to ensure this recovery keeps global warming in check.”
