The Impact Your Next Meal Can Make | Anna Christensen | TEDxColoradoSprings

In this talk, Anna, a Colorado high schooler and animal rights activist, describes the choices she made when faced with planet-scale problems. She researched common-sense solutions and put them in place in her own life. In a world that is facing many problems, the solution starts with each of us as individuals. Anna’s challenge to you is simple: You can make an impact with as small a change as your next meal. What we eat directly impacts our entire planet’s environmental and humanitarian health. Since she was in middle school, Anna Christensen has been working on impacting the world in a positive way starting with our plates. Her extensive research and work with experts on the topic have provided Anna with a well-rounded view on the topics of veganism and agriculture. Instead of making food the ‘bad-guy,‘ Anna aims to help listeners learn that change starts small and that anyone can get involved in their own way. The impact of simply shifting your meals to eat more plants and less meat can be highly beneficial. This is a concept that has been proven by mainstream health organizations and continues to influence lives positively. Anna is now in high school, and her passion for the topic is a constant motivation to continue her work in the area of dietary veganism and agriculture. In the future, Anna hopes to work in animal welfare to sustain her pursuit of knowledge. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
