It is empowering to be able to do something personally to make a difference, unlike most strategies for preventing climate change that hinge on government action. It takes a little effort each week, but I am finding some good recipes and it is getting easier for me to go meatless on mondays and more.”

“I have been vegetarian most of my life, and am quite aware of the environmental impact of our food choices. The health benefits of lowering animal based food consumption are well documented, and the personal economic benefits can be fairly significant as well. This initiative seems like a great idea to send the message to the masses, rather than just to those already following a more plant based diet.” – David Sinclair
