Eating For Tomorrow: How Care for the Earth calls us to transform our Habits of Food Preparation and Consumption

Join the MSJC/MEEC Integral Ecology Team on Wednesday, December 4 for an interactive, 90-minute virtual workshop designed to engage you in dialogue and practical applications on building eating behaviors that are both healthy for you and gentle on the planet. Through brief presentations, collaborative activities and discussions,  we will delve into the benefits of incorporating a "Meatless Monday" practice into our  lives and explore the ethical, environmental, and health impacts of eating less meat. Framed in the Eating for Tomorrow documentary, Laudato Si' and Marianist Encounters Goals,  we’ll discover practical and thought-provoking approaches to sustainable eating habits.
