            We live in changing times. Most scientists agree that our planet is changing…and not for the better. Climate change seems like an abstract thing we can’t get our heads around. Try this; think of it as pollution. So what can we do? Can our food choices make an impact? Christina shows how choosing more plants and reducing our animal food intake is our best shot at making a difference for better.
