Lynn Fitz Hugh: Food and Climate
Channel: Ed Mays
Date: 19/04/2019

Food production alone conservatively represents 9% of the US carbon foot print.  All of us are consumers of food and make food choices that impact our carbon foot print.  Learn about how eating an organic, local, plant-based diet and wasting less food can help stop climate change.  We will offer a series of choices for you to examine.  One third of all food in the US is wasted and the book Drawdown lists eliminating food waste as the third most effective solution to climate change, with the 4th being eating a plant-based diet.  We will also look at the social justice issues tied up in food production.

Lynn Fitz-Hugh founded 350Seattle.org as well as Faith Action Climate Team (FACT).  She is also this year’s TCAT program chair for the convention.
