At Eat to Save the Earth, we are on a mission to transform our collective future by making it easier for people to embrace diets rich in plants and less dependent on animal products. Our goal is clear: to sustain all life on Earth and combat the escalating effects of climate change.
In an era marked by unparalleled environmental challenges, unity and action have never been more crucial. The clarion call for drastic emission reductions before 2030 to prevent catastrophic global warming resonates at the core of our mission. Yet, we recognize that some scientific insights suggest our window for action is narrowing even more rapidly.
As we confront a climate emergency — with communities worldwide facing the devastating loss of homes, lives, and livelihoods due to climate-induced disasters — the imperative for immediate, bold, and innovative action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is indisputable. Crucially, this includes rethinking the global food system. Emerging research underscores a compelling truth: transitioning to renewable energy alone is insufficient. A fundamental shift in human diets towards plant-centric eating is essential to curbing runaway warming.
From this urgent need, Eat to Save the Earth was born.
Opportunity Amidst Crisis
Despite the stark realities, we stand before an opportunity of unprecedented scale. The Lancet Commission heralds the response to climate change as the most significant global health opportunity of the 21st century. Our actions now can pave the way to a healthier world.
The collective awareness and action needed to tackle climate change can concurrently address other environmental crises exacerbated by our current dietary choices — from the loss of biodiversity and desertification to deforestation, pollution, and the creation of oceanic dead zones. By realigning our diets with the needs of our planet, we can restore vital ecosystems and secure Earth’s habitability for future generations. Eat to Save the Earth is unwaveringly devoted to this vision and is actively fostering a shift towards more diversified, plant-strong diets.
Our Approach
Eat to Save the Earth is a beacon of education and advocacy, illuminating the environmental benefits of plant-based diets. But we go beyond explaining the “why” — we empower individuals with the “how.” Our programs and initiatives are meticulously crafted to enhance the capacity for dietary choices that nurture human health and environmental sustainability.
We also catalyze systemic change by collaborating with governments, educational institutions, healthcare providers, and other NGOs. Each partnership is a step toward policy and practice changes that increase plant consumption and decrease reliance on animal products.
Join us on this transformative journey. Together, we can reshape our world, one meal at a time.
