OPL Insights
We gather and curate the most reputable data and research with a focus on the deep interconnectedness between everything on earth and the impact that has on the sustainability of life and climate change.
Did you know that 30% of the trash in our landfills is made up of food and yard waste? Instead of throwing your food scraps into the trash, use them to nourish your soil to grow beautiful vegetables, fruit, and flowers. We share our experience in our blog, Urban Composting is Possible!
There is no need to be an expert to get started. Explore our interactive map to find composting in a city near you.
Recipes for a Healthy Lifestyle
Studies have shown that if 70% of people adopted a vegan diet and 63% adopted a vegetarian diet (includes cheese, milk, and eggs) the combined impact on climate change would be huge! There would be a 70% reduction in emissions. That means if we take the low end of the current emissions above at 15% it would be reduced to 3.75%. The models show that it would also reduce global mortality by 6-10%. This reduction in emissions would save lives and reduce medical costs. We share some of our favorite plant-rich recipes to get you started.
