THE BLUE PLATE A Food Lover's Guide to Climate Chaos

Mark Easter narrates in a calm voice that makes his performance a little soft-edged. His delivery is clear, and his experience as an ecologist is always present. His highly informed text gives listeners an understanding of where our food comes from and how its production affects the planet. Happily, he gives some suggestions anyone can follow--eat more plants, grow your own food, compost, choose hard-shelled sea creatures. His urgent focus, agriculture's carbon footprint, unfolds through research, reporting, and anecdotes. Want to know which end of the cow delivers more methane into the atmosphere? (Overwhelmingly, belching.) What guide to follow for sustainable seafood? (Seafood Watch.) This audiobook is a primer on macro issues of food and climate change that also offers useful micro suggestions. A.D.M. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2024]
