YOU can be one of Jeff Tritten’s Blue Zone centenarians (April 3; awesome talk) AND help save the planet. Rotary International’s Environmental Sustainability Rotary Action Group (ESRAG) encourages us to eat more plant foods – whole grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits, and fewer animal products – meat, dairy, eggs, fish and seafood.
A global shift to a diet rich in plant sources and fewer in animal products is the second most impactful way to combat climate change. (A shift to renewable energy sources is the most impactful.). Here is an easy way to start:
• Go meatless one day per week.
• Make one meal per day 100% plant based.
• Substitute for cow’s milk a non-dairy alternative such as soy or almond
• Eat plant rich whenever you can.
