We all share one activity that can have a significant impact on climate change—the food we eat! Eating more plant-based meals is an immediate and DELICIOUS way to put less CO2 into the atmosphere.   This is a community potluck picnic, so please bring a dish based on veggies, fruits, grains, beans, or nuts. We are also marking 5 years since passage of the Climate Emergency Declaration. Join us for great food, community spirit, and the commitment to a healthy, resilient future. Sponsored by EnergizeActon.org and the Town of Acton Sustainability Office. Info and registration at https://community.massenergize.org/ActonMA/events/1998.
