Chickpea Pot Pies Contents Introduction Worried about being held responsible for the destruction of the planet? What if you learned that one small thingeating more plants and plant-based foods, including chickpeascould lead to a healthier planet and a healthier you? Come join the revolution! As youre likely aware, climate change is the most pressing environmental issue weve ever faced as a civilization.

Significant impacts are being felt around the world due to rising sea levels and extreme weather events. Greenhouse gas emissions from human activity, including raising animals for food, are driving climate change. Animal agriculture accounts for 18 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions, Eco-anxiety (yes, a real thing) is on the rise, and many of us are living with chronic worry that if we dont act now, it will be too late. The good news is that activism can help counter these feelings of helplessness, and we need all hands on deck to fight for a healthier planet! In the big picture, policy changes, international cooperation, and the structural transformation of our economy will be critical to control runaway climate change but these changes will be expensive and take years to implement. Urgent action is needed now, and we want you to join in! Most people are unaware of how impactful eating less meat can be for addressing climate change. A global shift to consuming less meat could result in a quarter of the emission reductions needed to keep the world below the dangerous level of 35.6F (2C) warming.
