The Biosphere Institute of the Bow Valley and the Canmore Public Library Presents: Earth Talks
COMMUNITY ORIENTED ENVIRONMENTAL SPEAKERS AND CONVERSATIONS
Join Dawn Byford, C.H.N.C., Plant-Based Cook, PBNC Nutrition Professional, at the Canmore Public Library for their presentation Our Plate and the Planet - an hour of delicious discussion highlighting the power of our plates and how what we choose to fill it with can impact not only our personal health, but the health of the planet as well. Eat plants, plant trees, love life!
About Our Plate and the Planet:
Do you know the positive effect you have on the planet each time you choose a plant-based meal? At this Earth Talks presentation, Dawn will offer an eye-opening and delicious introduction to the many benefits of a whole foods plant-based lifestyle for human and planetary health.
We will learn about the importance of the power on your plate to profoundly impact climate change - for instance, do you know how much forest we can save just by cutting meat intake by 40%?
Dawn will also be treating us to a mini cooking demonstration and tasting of a plant based recipe!
