Child’s Play: Teaching Planet Protective Eating Patterns to Children 

Promoting more plant-based foods in our children's diets is healthier for them, the family, and the planet. Climate change is already here, as evidenced by the trend of hotter summers - 2023 was Earth's hottest since global records began in 1880 and 2024 is projected to continue this trend. Adding more plant-based foods has the potential to reduce your carbon footprint and improve human health by decreasing obesity and chronic diseases. Modeling healthy eating habits for our kids and starting them on healthy diets at a young age can have a positive effect on their diet choices later in life. 

In this webinar, Meryl Fury, a public health nurse and expert in plant-based diets, will teach participants how to educate and empower children about what they can do to help protect the planet. She will explain the importance of modeling healthy behaviors for children and share ways to influence children's eating patterns and empower them to think critically about their food choices.
