In this episode, Maya interviews Ebony Monique, the Executive Director of Greenpeace US. They discuss the crucial role of sustainable eating in combating climate change and its impact on our environment and health. Ebony emphasizes the power of adopting a plant-based diet to lower greenhouse emissions and highlights how the current food supply chain contributes to deforestation, dead zones in oceans, and water pollution. They also explore ways individuals can get involved, including volunteering, supporting Greenpeace, and advocating for change. Tune in to learn more about the link between our food choices and a sustainable planet.

Key Takeaways:

• The link between food choices and climate change: Our current food system, heavily dependent on livestock, leads to deforestation, ocean dead zones, and water contamination. Adopting a plant-based diet can significantly reduce these negative environmental impacts.
• The power of individual actions: Making conscious choices about what we put in our mouths can have a profound effect on lowering greenhouse emissions. By embracing a plant-based diet, we contribute to a healthier planet and combat the climate crisis.
• Getting involved with Greenpeace: Listeners should visit the Greenpeace US website to learn more about volunteer programs and engagement methods. Donations are vital in supporting Greenpeace's independent efforts to protect the environment and fight for sustainable solutions.
