A Delicious Plant Rich Diet Challenge for Rotarians

The Environmental Sustainability Rotary Action Group, ESRAG, has launched a “Plant-Rich Diet Task Force encouraging communities to eat more plant foods  – whole grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits, and fewer animal products – meat, dairy, eggs, fish and seafood. Talks, workshops, and challenges are regularly organized to spread awareness about the massive environmental and health benefits of plant-rich diets, as well as guidance and support for how to adopt them.” 

Join the ESRAG challenge, like the Rotary Club of Thunder Bay-Port Arthur, that has started a plant based dinner club for fellowship and fun exploring new recipes and sharing food experiences.

Or try these ideas: 

Take small steps such as having one meal per week that is either vegetarian or vegan. 

Focus on more whole foods like whole grains, fruits and vegetables at each meal. 

Have vegetarian or vegan options at your club meetings.

Try new recipes that swap meat with plant-based proteins. 

SHIFTING TO A DIET RICH IN PLANT SOURCES IS A CLIMATE SOLUTION WITH A BIG IMPACT. esrag.org/plant-rich-diet  https://drive.google.com/file/d/12k8Tuze3bK-7tT2-O1XyrgAPGtFG8tqX/view
