Friends, 

As the global pandemic persists, we all recognize that we need to make a shift in our eating habits. The current status is not sustainable: from empty store shelves to closing restaurants, problems with meat-packing plants and our food supply are devastating communities.

Earth Day Network invites you to join the first installment of our webinar series: Food Supply, Diet and the Environment in the age of COVID-19 on Thursday, July 23rd at noon Eastern.

Join us for the live event.

The panel will be 90 minutes and hosted over Zoom. By registering and joining the webinar, you’ll be able to ask questions during the Q&A. If you can’t connect over Zoom, we’ll also be streaming the event over Facebook.

Our panelists include:

• Dr. Sweta Chakraborty — Risk and Behavioral Scientist
• Deanna Dahlinger — Registered Dietitian Nutritionist
• Udi Lazimy — Global Director of Sourcing and Sustainability, Eat JUST
• Jillian Semaan — Director of Food and Environment, Earth Day Network
• Caroline Wimberly — Senior Campaign Manager, 50by40

Something has to change in how we relate to food. Shifting to a plant-based diet is one of the most immediate steps we can take for human and planetary health. Plant-based foods reduce our dependence on animals as a source of protein, and lessen our footprint on the environment.

Join us next week as we discuss how banning factory farms can help prevent future pandemics, the current state of our food supply, GMO’s, the link between plant-based diets and the environment and more!

See you there,

Jillian Semaan
Food and Environment Director
