Check out this charming 27-minute film by the talented Joanna Zelman for The Dodo. It tells the heartwarming story of the rescue of two male dairy calves, Mickey and Moose, who now live happily ever after at Rosies Farm Sanctuary in Potomac, Maryland.

From EarthDay.org:

"Food production and consumption are rapidly deteriorating the planet and what we are eating is pushing the planet to the breaking point on climate change and deforestation. Shifting to a plant-based diet and avoiding animal products relieves our planet of the burdens of animal agriculture, a huge contributor to ecological destruction."

What we eat is important to human health and planetary health. For your next meal, we urge you to make a climate conscious choice and eat plant-based.
