Presented by Cleveland Humanities Festival at Clark Hall Room 206

This event is part of the 2019 Cleveland Humanities Festival: Nature.

We are all aware of, and deeply troubled by, the dire predictions of looming ecosystems collapse. We often feel powerless in the face of such an enormous crisis, all the while watching our governments continue to do little to address this urgent issue. Is there anything we ourselves can do to significantly mitigate climate change? The good news is yes there is. Animal agriculture is a leading driver behind climate change, biodiversity loss, rainforest destruction, species extinction, ocean depletion and acidification, waterways pollution, topsoil loss, and other critical environmental and societal issues facing us. Come learn more about this little-discussed topic that climate summits fail to address, and how a simple change to a plant-based diet is the single most impactful and realistic solution to our environmental crises. And that is very good news, indeed.

This event is sponsored by the Cleveland Vegan Society.
