This month we're asking you to commit to a "Meatless Something", it could be a meal, a day, a weekend, a week, a month, or a complete lifestyle change. The choice is yours! A dietary shift can have more environmental impacts than you think. For example, livestock accounts for more than 14% of global greenhouse gas emissions. A vegetarian-conscious diet could cut those emissions by up to 70%.
Our #girlofthemonth Valentina Cordero, a renowned vegan chef, is sharing with us an easy and delicious recipe that will satisfy your sweet tooth!
