Take a class, watch a documentary, volunteer at a community garden, read a book. 

The Biggest Little Farm is one of our family favorites.

Plant a garden 

Plant a home garden and eat what you grow learning alongside your children as you both grow as gardeners. Planting a garden or volunteering at a community garden gives children insight into where food comes from and how much energy it takes to cultivate food.

Compost

Start composting your food and garden waste. 1/3 of our Earth's soils are degraded. Regenerate the earth by regenerating the soil through composting.

By eating plant based once a week, or 2 out of 3 meals a day, you can reducing carbon emissions generated by agricultural practices. Take part in combating climate change.
