Lisa Kemmerer – Environmental Ethics & Dietary Choice
“The most important thing is that we feel right and that we do not numb out in despair —
then we can move toward solutions.” Lisa Kemmerer
You will learn the links between diet and the environment: Human hunger continues as 70% of corn and soy are fed to animals, ruining the earth and harming the animals. This means that 70% of our land could be returned to wildlife, nature, and solar and wind energy!
Religion is a tool, like Feminism, to bring sustainable change: Based on your own core convictions, connect to the suffering of animals with love, acceptance and non-judgement.
