Here’s a snapshot of the latest plant-based food nudges and defaults movement happening across our communities.

The Center for Biological Diversity is hosting a webinar, ‘Best Practices in Plant-Based City Food Policy’ with a panel of experienced leaders who have successfully passed and implemented plant-based food policies in major cities around the U.S.

In the heart of Texas, Austin City Hall has raised a full-size state flag — with a sustainable twist.

Mayor Scott’s proclamation encourages “Baltimore’s restaurants, schools, grocery stores, organizations, institutions, and citizens to join us in celebrating and entering plant-based foods on their plates” — a direct echo of the plant-forward proclamation ratified two weeks earlier by the US Conference of Mayors.

Sponsored in part by the Better Food Foundation, the weeklong festivities celebrate the merits of plant-based cuisine and encourage DMV residents to indulge, enticing the vegan and veg-curious with discounts and giveaways at local restaurants.

Hospitals using plant-based foods to advance public health is exciting on its own merit, but the fact that the city used a plants-by-default approach is truly unique.

The new plan establishes a goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2035, committing San Diego to a more accelerated reduction trajectory than in previous climate resolutions.
