We’re flipping the switch to plants this Earth Day, and we want you to take action! Why?
Food has significant carbon impact from carbon intensive fertilizers used for farming to methane released by ruminant animals. Switching to a mainly plant-forward diet can decrease your fossil fuel emission by up to 75%.
Plus, you might discover a new favorite that just so happens to be good for the planet.
Join us at the Market Café to learn how you can reduce your carbon footprint with these 11 ways to flip the switch to plants for Earth Day and beyond!
