"I've been part of Earth Save Miami for the last 20 years. They educate people how the choices they make in what they eat affects not only their own health but the health of the planet. I like their message which is about encouraging people to elect to reduce or eliminate animal products from their diet. Even small changes can make a big difference. We live in a time where the practices of factory farming are causing ecological devastation. That's why it's more important than ever that people understand the cause and effect relation of what they eat.
