CEO of @TiltCollective, fighting for a sustainable, healthy, plant-rich food system for all

Thanks @rcbregman for helping spread the good word. Rutger's work has been transformative for my thinking on what is possible for a sustainable and healthy world - and for making me realize my optimism is grounded in a wealth of history!
The insane levels of meat consumption today—devastating our planet—are a historical anomaly, driven by years of government propaganda. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We can return to healthier and more sustainable diets. Brilliant talk --> https://t.co/vn84ABEMqU

What we eat is less about what we choose and more about what’s offered to us, says food and climate expert Sarah Lake. Unpacking how governments and companies have driven up meat consumption in the...

While we need a variety of solutions to livestock emissions, a plant-rich food system is one of the greatest untapped opportunities. Will we let this opportunity pass us by, or will transform our food system to offer sustainable and healthy food for all?

We can more than double the climate benefits by investing in a plant-rich food system compared to just trying to make production more sustainable and efficient.

For every dollar invested in advancing a plant-rich food system, we unlock 5 times the emissions reduction compared to the same investment in renewable energy.

It's not over.
A statement on today's 2pm ballot drop: DENVER, Colo. – Dr. Lisa Calderón is feeling confident that as we wait for the final 65,000 votes to be counted, progressive voters who vote in the final two days will advance her to the runoff.

Can't wait to hear future Mayor Lisa Calderón's greeting on the DIA train. This perfectly captures the city I love. https://t.co/RKBTmYM15E

Yes! @LisaforDenver on fire, bringing her 30 years of experience to highlight that this isn't just a question about reducing funding to the police, but also how we're allocating resources to critical, yet underfunded services
My answer to if more police make us safer: no. As a criminal Justice professor, someone who has trained law enforcement, I don’t want to talk about more police. Let’s talk about more librarians. More social workers.

We need a mayor who actually takes a stand on issues and isn't afraid to call out what isn't working. Proud to be Team Lisa.

The current policy states that additional overnight shelters will be opened when "the city anticipates needing additional shelter capacity above what is available across existing shelters" We need clear temperature thresholds, not 'the city' subjectively deciding

Why is it subject to the whim of the city when additional overnight capacity is opened? While we're talking about revising the temperature threshold for daytime warming centers, can we also set clear temperature thresholds for opening expanded overnight shelters?
Inbox: with frigid temperatures and accumulating snow in Denver, the city will open the Carla Madison Rec Center at 2401 E. Colfax Ave. to expand overnight homeless shelter capacity tonight & tmrw. This is in addition to the opening of rec centers as warming spaces today & tmrw.

If COP is focused on food, why isn’t there a focus on reducing meat production - one of the single largest drivers of climate change? My latest op-ed with @BasDefossez details why we must tackle meat production to stand a chance at meeting climate goals. https://t.co/Vu30jbTBtb

Global food security doesn’t have to be subject to the whim of Putin. If the EU repurposed just a fraction of land used to produce industrial meat, we’d offset all the grain lost in Ukraine in a year, and increase the global supply of fertilizer. @ProSyn

At a time when millions of people worldwide suffer from hunger and rising food prices, why are we using vast amounts of land and fertilizers to grow food that only livestock can eat? ask @sarahelake and @Nico_Muzi.
