A Food-First Approach to Climate Action

In-person and live streaming.
Note: this additional event is on a MONDAY, not our regular date.
Food accounts for about 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions. (You read that correctly—25%.) But some foods are more harmful to the planet than others. What you choose to eat at every meal can help move you to being part of the climate solution. In this talk, Jessica explores how food contributes to climate change, which foods are the biggest emitters, and what we should put on our plates instead.
Jessica Schroeder has taught at Denver Seminary and thinks about theology’s intersection with beauty, delight, food, nutrition, stewardship, and ecology. In this presentation she describes her food-first approach to climate action.

Please plan to stay for a reception with food, drinks, and conversations afterwards. Free but you're welcome to put something in the basket.
