Starting on a plant-based journey can be pretty intimidating, but rest assured, there’s no need for an all-or-nothing mentality. Even eating plant-based one night a week has great environmental impact. I usually start off by picking a vegetable or two and then go from there.

It’s been a lot of fun to see the leaves pop from my organic potato sprouts, watch new little romaine leaves emerge, and dream about the avocado tree that will be big and strong and bearing foliage long after the current woes and worries are behind us, and as we begin to heal as individuals and communities.
