Anna Lappé Explains the Fork-to-Climate Link

Green Village Initiative (“GVI”), together with the Weston Select Committee on Sustainability and the Unitarian Church in Westport, is pleased to co-sponsor a conversation with national bestselling author, television host and public speaker Anna Lappé on Sunday, April 3.  Known for her work on sustainability and food systems, Anna has been featured in The New York Times, Gourmet, O-The Oprah Magazine, Domino, Food & Wine, Body+Soul, and Vibe, among other outlets.

Anna will speak at the Unitarian Church in Westport about her latest book, Diet for a Hot Planet: The Climate Crisis at the End of Your Fork and What You Can Do About It (Bloomsbury, March 2010) and the links between today’s global food system and climate change.  The event will include participation from several local organic farmers, “farm-to-table” chefs, such as the Dressing Room’s Michel Nischan and Le Farm’s Bill Taibe, and other local food movement pioneers.  A book signing will be held at the end of the program.
