Feedback from Staffs:

The talk contains insightful statistics that show clearly the major causes of global warming. It provided some solutions on how to tackle the problems. It showed how our daily habits as simple as eating meat can contribute to Global Warming.

I like how the talk links our daily habits to climate change. I learn the Environmental impact of livestock industry.

The talk is very insightful and make me aware of current global warming situation. I learn Animal agriculture is one of the biggest GHG contributor. Eating less meat or more fruits and vegetables could help.

It is an insightful talk supported by data and allow us to be aware how we can participate to slow down Global warming. I learn about Meatless Days and the use of Happy Cow app to easily identify Veg restaurants.
