Download EarthEcho’s latest webinar to make a difference

This is a Blog item written on February 10, 2012 by Philippe Cousteau

What’s your favorite meal? I had the chance to ask that to over 125 classrooms last week when I hosted the What’s On Your Fork webinar. If you missed it, or if you thought it was SO good that you just have to see it again, you can view the full webinar at www.WaterPlanetChallenge.org.

Students from across the country – and Canada! – tuned in to hear Brent Kim and Ralph Loglisci of Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future and me, as we discussed the environmental and community impact of daily food choices, the issues associated with modern industrial food production and its environmental impacts, and the history and effectiveness of the Meatless Monday campaign.

So share the What’s On Your Fork resources with your friends, family, colleagues and other students. Have a discussion with each other about the ways you can make a difference by making small changes to your daily routine. Remember, everything you do makes a difference…even at mealtime.
