Chicken or fish? Beef or beans? Our markets brim with the world's bounty. But have you ever stopped to consider that our choices about what to eat may be our most significant contribution to global warming? After all, what else do we do three times a day, 365 days a year?
Please join us for an exhilarating discussion about food, climate change and the crucial role of American purchasing power. Leading the conversation: Environmental Working Group founder Ken Cook, Whendee Silver, professor of ecosystem ecology at the University of Ca, and Helene York, director of the Bon Appetit Management Company Foundation.
EWG will present an exclusive preview of the Meat Eater's Guide to Climate Change, its upcoming major report featuring a fresh, unorthodox analysis to the environmental impact of everyday food choices.
