Paul McCartney wrote an exclusive essay called “Meat Free Monday” for the new Ether Books iPhone App released last week. The Ether iPhone app offers short stories, essays and poetry by new and established authors.

McCartney launched the Meat Free Monday campaign in 2009 with his daughters Stella and Mary McCartney to urge people to designate one meat free day a week to help save the environment.

Paul McCartney spoke about his recent essay in an interview with BBC Radio 4 on May 6. McCartney admits he doesn’t keep up to date with all the new technology.

“What was great was when you had one telephone under the stairs and when you weren’t in, you weren’t in and there wasn’t even an answering machine,” McCartney told the BBC. “That was great. Now nobody has any time.”
