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.
In the United States, there are roughly 4,000 Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs. CSAs are a beneficial way to buy local, seasonal food directly from the farms that produce it. It’s a pretty simple idea with a powerful impact of supporting communities through local markets.
To learn more about CSAs, read our blog, Community Supported Agriculture A Win for Farmers and Families.

Vegetable-forward Recipes
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.
