Detox the Planet: Food and Climate Change film Night

DETOX THE PLANET:

VEGANISM AND CLIMATE CHANGE

A night of films, food and talks...  



Veganism is a climate issue, an animal rights issue and a health issue. 

Producing one calorie of animal protein requires more than 10 times as

much fossil fuel input as a calorie of plant protein.  By rearing animals

to satisfy our appetite for meat and dairy products, we are harming

animals, the planet, future generations and ourselves.



Speakers....

"Diet of Disaster" by Juliet Gellatley (founder & director of Viva! and

the Vegetarian & vegan Foundation).



 "Livestock's contribution to environmental problems is on a massive

scale. The impact is so significant that it needs to be addressed with

urgency."United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation 2006





Films including Food for Life and extracts from Not in My Name....



Debate hosted by Elisa Aaltola,  PhD and Research Fellow at MMU Cheshire

and Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics,...an analysis of the ethical

framework surrounding animal rights.

A Day of Climate Action that Bites

The food we eat contributes up to a third of the emissions and is

poisoning the planet. It's time for a detox...

We call for groups to take action...markets, free food stalls, workshops,

film showings, street theatre, info stalls, protests, direct action,

cooking demonstrations, talks, allotment shows. Get creative and get

involved!
