Join us on March 3rd at 6:00 PM for an insightful discussion with ecologist and author Mark Easter as he presents his book, The Blue Plate: A Food Lover’s Guide to Climate Chaos. This is a FREE EVENT. This unique book is the perfect dinner companion for food lovers who care about the planet. Organized around the ingredients of a typical dinner party—like seafood, salad, bread, steak, and fruit pie with ice cream—Easter takes us on a journey through the climate impact of our favorite foods.

Rather than a cookbook, The Blue Plate offers a fresh perspective on sustainable eating. With stories that introduce us to the people behind the food—the farmers, ranchers, workers, and producers—Easter paints a vivid picture of how the food we love impacts our environment. He explores the causes and effects of greenhouse gas emissions from different food groups and shares practical, low-carbon alternatives to make our meals both sustainable and delicious.

Mark Easter’s work spans over three decades of research in carbon cycling, the carbon footprint of agriculture, and land use. He brings both his scientific expertise and a personal touch to the topic of food and climate change. Don’t miss this chance to engage in a meaningful conversation about what’s really on our plates and how we can make a difference.

Whether you're a passionate foodie, an environmental advocate, or just curious, this event promises to deepen your understanding of how our daily meals are connected to the climate crisis. Mark Easter’s engaging storytelling and research will leave you thinking differently about dinner.
