Episode 12: Plant-Based Diets: A Climate Solution Right on Our Plates
Manage episode 375320176 series 3397519
In this episode, we talk to Ravinder Sehgal, Board Member of the San Francisco Veg Society and biology professor at San Francisco State University. We learn about why and how eating more plant-based food can decrease our negative impact on the climate. We discuss deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, misuse of energy, land and water, and more. Ravinder also shares easy, everyday tips and recommendations for how to adopt a more Earth-friendly diet.
Great Guest Quote: “If people reduce the amount of animals they eat, I believe slowly we can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere, and improve the climate.”
