The Blue Plate: A Food Lover’s Guide to Climate Chaos

More than a quarter of the greenhouse gas emissions produced around the world today come from the simple steps of growing, catching, processing, transporting, and cooking food—and then dealing with leftovers. This alarming statistic motivated ecologist Mark J. Easter to dramatically change what and how he and his family eat and to write a book about his journey to evaluate and understand climate impacts of the food before him.

On this episode of Locus Focus we talk with Mark about what he learned in the course of writing The Blue Plate: A Food Lover’s Guide to Climate Chaos.
