Planetary Boundaries Dinner

These are that represent key systems on Earth that enable life to exist and thrive on our planet. Crossing these boundaries could result in dangerous levels of environmental change, and as of 2023, we have already left the safe zone on at least six of them.

Join us to find out what these boundaries are, the status of each, and how the food on our forks plays a crucial role in staying within bounds, or in pushing our planet further into increasing levels of danger.

Plus, enjoy a delicious dinner designed to support the ongoing habitability of our beloved Earth.

Donations to support the nonprofit are greatly appreciated!
