Plant Powered 30 Challenge

For the month of March, MGH’s Center for the Environment and Health is running the Plant Powered 30 Challenge: an initiative to promote meatless, plant-based eating to reduce the effect of meat consumption on the environment. A third of all global carbon emissions come from the food industry, and the use of animals for meat causes twice the amount of pollution compared to plant-based foods (Xu et al., 2021).

Anyone interested in trying more plant-based meals and reducing their carbon footprint can register here. You’ll be asked to join a Slack page where people can share photos and recipes of plant-based meals they’ve eaten throughout the month. The MGHer with the most plant-based meals posted on the Slack at the end of month will win a $100 prize!
