Feb 18: Food and the environment

Environmentalism Starts On Your Plate:  Jeffrey Cohan, Executive Director of Jewish Vegetarians of North America, will speak about the environmental ramifications of food production, comparing plant-based and animal-based diets. After Jeffrey’s talk, our Co-op and a group of Repair the World Fellows, who are working to allay food justice issues in our community, will host a collection of activities to stimulate both your social conscience and inner foodie. Join us in learning how an act as simple as eating dinner can change the world. 

6:30 p.m. at Repair The World: Pittsburgh (6022 Broad Street).  Activities will include a recipe swap, foodie trivia game, a photo booth, and light snacks.  Free and open to the public; call 412-242-3598 to RSVP.
