So what's all the hype about plant-based eating?
Mindful eating is extremely impactful to emissions reduction when we realize how much our agricultural industry contributes to GHG emissions.
We're not saying go vegan, but be effortful in implementing plant-based diets for your health and the planet's.

Climate advocacy meets creativity
Our Executive Director, Lex van der Raadt, had the privilege of joining an enlightening conversation with the Major Matt Mason Collective, a Calgary-based theatre company, during their production of Love & Rage.
Inspired by Evan Medd’s Dreaming Climate Consciousness, the play sparked a riveting discussion on possible futures in the face of the ongoing climate emergency.
It was a truly spectacular evening, an immersive theatre experience where the audience became part of the story, transported into another world alongside the performers.
Thank you for having us we can’t wait to see what’s next!
