DESCRIPTION:Climate change is coming, and our food is implicated. Research estimates 
 that our food system is responsible for as much as one-third of greenhouse 
 gas emissions, yet one study showed that the nation's top newspapers 
 mentioned food and agriculture in only 2.4 percent of climate change 
 articles. Anna Lappe's latest book has a simple message: if we are serious 
 about addressing climate change, we have to talk about food. Diet for a Hot 
 Planet: the Climate Crisis at the End of Your Fork and What You Can Do 
 About It voices the dreams, tales, and warnings of the farmers and eaters 
 at the front lines of the battle to keep the planet cool and explores the 
 potential for sustainable agriculture to mitigate climate change. Come hear 
 more about this important and timely work, and find out how your food 
 choices make a difference.\n\nAnna Lappe is a national bestselling author 
 known for her work on sustainability and food systems. Named one of TIME's 
 "Eco-Who's Who," Anna co-wrote Hope's Edge: The Next Diet for a Small 
 Planet and Grub: Ideas for an Urban Organic Kitchen. With her mother 
 Frances Moore Lappe, Anna leads the Cambridge-based Small Planet Institute, 
 a collaborative network for research and popular education, and the Small 
 Planet Fund, which has raised and given away nearly three-quarters of a 
 million dollars to democratic social movements worldwide, two of which have 
 won the Nobel Peace Prize since the Fund's founding in 2002.\n\nSponsored 
 by Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture (CUESA), Book 
 Passage, Food First, Community Alliance with Family Farmers, Rainforest 
 Action Network, Oakland Institute, and Center for Food Safety. \n\nThe talk 
 will be followed by a reception with farmers market snacks.\n\nTickets are 
 $10; all proceeds will benefit the Small Planet Fund.\n\nNo one will be 
 turned away for lack of funds (unless the event sells out).\n\nTickets:
