World Economic Forum invites Habits of Waste

We are honored to be invited by the World Economic Forum for their platform, Shaping the Future of Consumption. We will be participating in the conference on May 19th as part of the "New Disruptors of Nutrition". Our #8meals campaign is disrupting nutrition with the help of our new app (Tech Crunch).  

We believe that joining forces with the World Economic Forum is an opportunity that will propel our movement forward and help so many people enter the plant-based lifestyle successfully. We are eager to share our work with the world. 

Huge thanks to the Forum for recognizing our efforts and helping us shine light on our work.
Mayor Garcetti signs #CutOutCutlery Ordinance
Monday, May 3, 2021, City of Los Angeles Mayor Garcetti signed the #CutOutCutlery ordinance to make foodware accessories available only "upon request". It's official!
The future is plant-based and world renowned restaurants are leading the way.
Can you eat 8 plant-based meals per week? 
Check out our app free at the 
App Store & Google Play.

 
Get Started
 
Step 1
Download our new #8meals app to help you swap 8 meals each week for plant-based options instead. This means foods that come from plants and do not contain any animal source

Step 2
Find interesting recipes! We have been enjoying all the new low cost plant-based recipe ideas out there. Eating plant-based is delicious, healthy and cost-effective. 

Step 3
Plug your 8 meals in your calendar for the week. You can choose to swap 2 breakfasts + 3 lunches + 2 dinners  OR try 1 breakfast + 2 lunches + 5 dinners.  You can also eat all plant based for the weekend and add just 1 plant-based meal during the week. Mix it up to your liking!

Step 4
SHARE! Tag a friend and challenge others to join you. Post your meals on social media and use the #8meals hashtag to share the movement.

YOUR IMPACT

By swapping just 8 meals/week to plant-based options, you are reducing your carbon footprint by 540kg per year. This effort adds up! It’s the equivalent of driving a hybrid car for 1 year!
 

WHY?
 
Animal agriculture is responsible for more than 18% of greenhouse gases worldwide. Plus, it contributes to land and water degradation, biodiversity loss, acid rain, coral reef degeneration and deforestation. Learn more about this on our plant-based Call to Action page by clicking here.


FACT
 
Just 1 family meal that contains 1 pound of beef needs up to 8,000 gallons of water to produce.
YOUR ACTIONS MATTER.
