The Biodiversity/Vegetarian Outreach Committee educates about the link between the adoption by humans of a plant-based diet and protection of habitat for wildlife, as well as other environmental benefits of a vegetarian/vegan diet. The Committee currently needs a chair. If you are interested, reach out to Kate Bartholomew or Ellen Banks.
