“One of the most important things we can do to prevent the climate crisis and ecological threats, and to create a more sustainable future is to eat plants instead of animals. I heartily endorse the Eat for Impact initiative to encourage this shift.”

"Eat for Impact is a groundbreaking initiative that fosters meaningful conversations about what we eat and why, while breaking down barriers to change. By uniting governments, the private sector, and the public, this program paves the way for impactful collaborations and actionable steps. These efforts are vital to driving lasting societal change and building a brighter future for animals, people, and the planet."

“I support Eat For Impact because every meal is an opportunity to create a kinder, more sustainable world. Choosing plant-based foods not only saves lives but also protects our planet for future generations.”

“There is no way to reverse climate change without a large-scale adoption of a plant-based diet, and re-wilding of land currently used to graze animals that people make the mistake of eating. I congratulate the Eat for Impact initiative in doing their part by encouraging plant-based cuisine.”
