Our Meatless Monday initiative is connected with Hope Announcements created by students in collaboration with Dr. Elin Kelsey, author of "Hope Matters: Why Changing the Way We Think Is Critical to Solving the Environmental Crisis."
Dr. Kelsey's work emphasizes that hope is not just a feel-good emotion, but a powerful tool for creating change. By taking concrete actions like participating in Meatless Monday, we demonstrate that positive environmental change is possible and that our individual choices matter.
The Hope Announcements project encourages students to share stories of environmental hope and action, inspiring our community to make sustainable choices that contribute to a healthier planet.
"Hope is not the result of optimism; it is the commitment to positive action in the face of overwhelming evidence."
