“Addressing climate change requires everyone's participation. Innovative initiatives like Eat for Impact, which lie at the nexus of food and climate, call upon us all to reflect on our choices and to consume with intention. In doing so, we can help protect the planet for generations to come."

“Community efforts like this help to raise awareness about the many benefits—both personally and for our climate—of a plant-based diet. I am grateful to Eat for Impact as I fight in Congress to make our food system more resilient, humane, and just.”

US Senator Cory Booker

“There is no way to reverse climate change without a large-scale adoption of a plant-based diet, and re-wilding of land currently used to graze animals that people make the mistake of eating. I congratulate the Eat for Impact initiative in doing their part by encouraging plant-based cuisine.”

“I support Eat For Impact because every meal is an opportunity to create a kinder, more sustainable world. Choosing plant-based foods not only saves lives but also protects our planet for future generations.”

“Simply put, increasing the percentage of plant based foods introduced to one's diet not only helps the environment but has been proven to reduce the risk and/or symptoms of chronic and inflammatory diseases. I applaud Eat for Impact’s initiative to educate both restaurant owners and the Morristown, NJ community on the effect that simple changes to their diets can have on the planet. All while adding to the bottom line in an increasingly competitive restaurant landscape, with a dividend for all of a greener planet!”
