Description

Watch out DC! The Youth Steering Committee is on the case! YSC is made up of students who are passionate about promoting climate-friendly, plant-based food to save our planet, animals, and people. These students create campaigns to change federal policies and encourage K-12 schools to adopt plant-based, sustainable menus and end factory farming. These young advocates are working to push a bill through Congress: The Healthy Future Students and Earth Pilot Program Act. The YSC was formed by Chilis on Wheels and Friends of the Earth. EloĆ­sa Trinidad, the Executive Director of Chilis on Wheels, and 3 of the students in the Youth Steering Committee, Nitya Jakka, Nancy Zhang and Jasmine Hsieh, join us to talk about how they're saving the planet.
