Join GreenTown for an inspiring thought-provoking, habit-changing talk that dispels myths and misconceptions about plant-based eating and gets to the heart of why we resist making changes that actually benefit ourselves and others. You'll leave with the tools and resources you need to reflect your deepest values in your daily behavior — joyfully, deliciously, healthfully, and unwaveringly.

Doors open at 6:30pm. Talk begins at 7pm.
