Good for You, Good for Our Earth

Find out which foods are good for you, as well as good for our earth. Seminar participants will discover small steps that make big differences in their carbon “food” footprint. The food choices we make each and every day are one of the largest predictors of a person’s health and well-being. What most people don’t know, is that the food we eat can also be a significant contributor to global warming. When you add up all the emissions from seed, to plate, to landfill, food accounts for as much as 33% of the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions. These high CO2 emitting foods are often the foods responsible for a person’s increased risk of developing chronic disease.
