NEO Keynote – Earthling Ed: Impacts of our Food Choices – Winterthur, Switzerland
6:15 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
We see it in the news, we hear it on the radio, we come across it on social media: Our food choices have a staggering impact on the planet and cause immense suffering to billions of living beings. But knowing is one thing and acting is another. Simply showing slaughterhouse footage on Facebook or Instagram won’t make people change their eating habits overnight. Policies aimed at curbing carbon emissions coming from livestock are not the entire solution either. The food-tech space is developing great alternatives to animal products, but education is key to actually understanding what it takes to make the foods we eat and why we need a drastic shift in our diets.
Dominion Film Screening and Potluck – Citrus Heights, CA
2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Please bring your own bowl/utensils/cup so as to minimize waste, and feel free to bring a vegan snack to share. If you do bring a snack, please list the ingredients. Thank you. We hope to see you there.
