Industrial animal agriculture is one of the leading contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. It pollutes our air and water and threatens wildlife habitats. As New Yorker’s, we have the opportunity to encourage our legislators to pass a bill that would mandate institutions, like universities, public healthcare facilities, and corrections facilities to purchase more plant based foods. This would not only be good for the planet, but it would also be good for everyone’s health. Most chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and some forms of cancer are diet related, and the over consumption of animal products has been linked to these chronic diseases..

Call your legislator and ask them to prioritize healthy and climate-friendly food purchasing! They need to know that this issue is important to you!
