A Plea for Plant-Based Dishes at SF WEN, San Francisco's Women's Environmental Netwowrk

I just took a look at a lovely new member of the board at WEN, Women's Environmental Network, written up in their newsletter and left this comment:

Rebecca sounds like a wonderful new addition to the WEN Board.  Could she and the rest of the staff  be more progressive in advocating a move toward a plant-based diet for the good of the planet? 

It seems strange that WEN pays so little attention to this important means of counteracting  climate change.   You could help this cause by providing plant-based dishes (dishes with no meat, eggs, or dairy) at your functions and having a sign that makes it clear you're not doing this for vegans; you're doing this for the planet and all living beings and things on it.  You can quote the United Nations Environmental Programme and Nature at the University of Oxford.  (Please see "Options for keeping the food system within environmental limits." )
