Change the climate by what you eat?

We seek to raise awareness of how individual food choices can impact the planet’s climate. The effect of animal agriculture on the environment is extreme and unsustainable. It not only adversely affects the environment but also increases food insecurity across the globe. Join the SEE team and take action to halt further degradation of our climate and prevent future starvation today!

Be a Superhero!

The best part about shifting to a plant-based diet is knowing your diet choices protect the environment. Turning ranch land into forests will mitigate the effects of climate change and create new habitats and reduce water pollution. You don’t need to have a cape to be a superhero—you just need to choose to switch to delicious and healthy vegetables!
