As part of my plant-based nutrition course, I watched a lecture by Bruce Monger of Cornell University on how what we eat is affecting the health of our oceans. I was so moved by his lecture, that I created a 2 minute video with the highlights to share. (I did get credit for it, but the written assignment would have been easier!)
I hope that you’ll watch it, and if your intrigued, you’ll read the article Dr. Monger wrote about how our food choices impact the environment: http://nutritionstudies.org/impact-of-food-choices-on-the-environment/
I’m not going to become a marine biologist anytime soon, but I do eat three meals, every day. And I can make a difference by choosing what I eat for those three meals, every day. You can too.
