Eating Our Way to Extinction
Eating Our Way to Extinction depicts how the food we eat contributes to climate change. Animal agriculture is the leading cause of deforestation around the globe. It also contributes to water pollution, soil degradation, ocean dead zones, and emits 14.5 percent of global greenhouse gases, such as methane and nitrous acid.
The film is screened in-house and on zoom. Prior registration for virtual attendance is required. Please use this link to register: https://tinyurl.com/yc4exdbf. There will be a drawing for a $10 voucher to cover in-person meal expenses.
Presenters caution that you may become a vegetarian or vegan after watching this film.
