thinkFOOD Williams

ThinkFOOD Williams works to engage the Williams community with the environmental and social consequences of their food consumption decisions.

Currently, we’re petitioning Dining Services to reduce their industrial beef purchases by 50%, as industrial beef production is a leading contributor to global warming.

Stop by our meetings (Tuesdays at 8 pm in Kellogg) to learn more, or email jff1 to join the listserv!Real Cost of Burgers
