Today I am joined by Katie Cantrell, CEO and cofounder of Greener by Default, which makes plant-based food the default, while giving diners the choice to opt into meat/dairy.

In this episode Katie and I discuss:

  • The Greener by Default story

  • Nudging consumer choices toward plant-based foods

  • The powerful concept of “choice architecture”

  • GBD’s approach’s benefits to people, planet, and even business profits / bottom line

  • What kinds of institutions GBD works with

  • How individuals can get involved

  • And more!

When it comes to doing something about climate change, your food choices matter.

Thanks for tuning in to Eating for Eden, a podcast that takes a food-first approach to climate action.

We’ve been given a beautiful garden to steward. It may seem like a small thing, but the food we eat plays a massive role in either contributing to or lessening carbon emissions.

I’m here to help you decide with intention what you’re putting on your plate and into your mouth (and thoroughly enjoy your food along the way).

. . .

Your impact goes further when you share what you’ve learned!
