I first decided to go veg-centric (at the ripe ole age of 14) for reasons that had absolutely nothing to do with sustainability. The older I’ve gotten and the more I’ve learned however, the more I’ve realized that adopting a veg-centric diet and sustainability go hand in hand. I talked a bit about this in my Eating Animals review video. In today’s guest experts videos, two of our Como Water Experts, Courtney and Chris, continue the conversation on sustainability and veg-centricity (why, yes, I did just make that word up!). Enjoy!
