Meat accounts for almost 60% of all food production climate emissions, which means that moving towards a plant-based diet is an essential strategy in fighting climate change. This bill would create a grant program for school districts to help schools provide healthier, climate friendly, and culturally appropriate plant-based entrée options to students.

As a concerned citizen who is already witnessing the devastating impacts of climate change, I urge you to take every action possible to halt this crisis. The Healthy Future Students and Earth Pilot Program Act is a key step in creating a livable, sustainable future where all students have access to foods that are healthy for their body and the planet.

I hope you will take this action to protect our planet and its children.
