Earth Day Celebration
Celebrating Barvecue's launch at Elon
University and Earth Day, the brand joins the students, on
campus from 4:00-8:00p ET on April
22. It's an Earth Day Celebration of great food, live music,
and Barvecue, for everyone!
Earth Day Every Day
Besides the serendipitous launch at Elon
University on Earth Day, creating tasty, mouthwatering,
sustainable, plant-based barbecue is Barvecue's daily mission for
people and the planet.
According to UCLA Sustainability, "Eating a plant-based diet is
not just good for our health; it is good for Earth's health.
If each and every person in the United
States gave up meat and dairy products on one or more days
of the week; ideally, all days of the week, we would save the
environment from thousands of tons of carbon emissions. In
fact, in one year, animal husbandry creates as much carbon
emissions as the entire transportation sector."
