**Why we can't solve the climate crisis without changing how we eat.**
Even if we stopped using fossil fuels today, emissions from our food
system would still cause the earth to exceed targets. This lively
presentation will discuss the under-appreciated impact our food system
has on climate and the environment. Learn actions you can take at
your very next meal to start changing things for the better.
**Your Presenters:**
*Nicola Philpott* runs a plant-based meal program at a shelter for people experiencing homelessness in Minneapolis. She has a doctorate in biochemistry and molecular biology and has written 18 peer-reviewed scientific publications. Nicola enjoys gardening, biking with her teenagers and walking her dogs.
*Anna Larsson* spends her days working on strategy and finance in the corporate world. By night, she is a long-time climate and environmental activist. She lives with her partner and two teenagers in Minneapolis and loves biking and getting out in nature.
**Bring your favorite whole food plant based dish and enjoy a potluck lunch** while we learn more about diet and the environment. Let us know if you need help with questions about what food to bring.
