SUMMARY:Eating Plant-Based for Our Climate and Health.  Your Faith Community Can\, Too!
DESCRIPTION:A year ago\, our ministers directed church staff to change the Sunday lunch menu to plant-based food. What inspired them to act?   For a year\, our church’s Climate Action Team has hosted monthly plant-based potlucks.   The potlucks turn out five times as many participants as the monthly lectures that we used to hold. That’s inspiration! \nEating plant-based for our climate will help as much as solar\, reports Project Drawdown.  Plus\, health experts are encouraging us all to eat more plant-based foods.  Eating more plant-based foods makes it easy for everyone to help the planet and their own health. Nan Hildreth\, leader of the Climate Action Team at First Unitarian Universalist Church\, and team member Karoline Mueller\, Ph.D.\, will tell the story of their church’s journey toward plant-based eating\, but they’d also like to hear from the audience about their experiences at their faith communities.

SUMMARY:Interconnections with Soil\, Human Health and the Environment
DESCRIPTION:Soil is essential to all life and is important to human health in many ways. It can filter water\, provide nutrients and food\, store carbon\, and supply us with antibiotics to fight diseases. However\, soils are often mistreated by industrial agriculture and contaminated by environmental pollutants like oil spills which can directly affect human and environmental health. Sara Denison\, a Ph.D. student in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Rice University\, will discuss how soil contamination\, human health and the environment are all connected and ways contaminated soils can be cleaned up and restored. In addition\, she will discuss the health burden associated with exposure to particular contaminants found in soils around Houston and technology that she is researching that will help remove these contaminants from soil. Time for Q&A with the speaker will be provided. Please register for this talk on www.eventbrite.com at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/interconnections-with-soil-human-health-and-the-environment-tickets-710228782407.
