News from OMD
This is our year.
We’re just one week into the New Year and a new decade! Spirits are high. Each day represents a chance for a new beginning, a chance to start writing your story with clarity and 2020 vision. How powerful is that?
As we look toward the decade ahead and our vision for a healthy planet, it’s clear that interconnectedness is an essential ingredient for reimagining an equitable, vibrant food system and future for all.
That’s why Kelsey Blackwell interviewed Indigenous Climate Action’s Dawn Morrison for the OMD blog this month to discuss the critical importance of bringing people from all communities to the table for conversations around food and climate justice. She also shared how sacred Indigenous foodways connect people to the land and its cycles.

If our interview with Dawn has your interest piqued, consider checking for more leadership, ideas and action on the climate crisis:
• Indigenous Environmental Network (and its Executive Director, Tom Goldtooth!)
• Autumn Peltier
• Sunrise Movement
• Idle No More
• Jamie Margolin

Each day seems to present a new challenge, so give yourself the space to learn, get creative and engage where you feel the most passion. You’ll stumble, but you’ll also find what works. And remember, we’re standing right there beside you with our own exuberant and fierce drive for radical, positive change in 2020!
We closed out 2019 learning that it was the second-hottest year on record, and watching global leaders and governments at #COP25 squander the opportunity to take meaningful action on climate change (Suzy was fired up about it). Yet with guidance from longtime environmentalists and change-makers, such as Dawn Morrison and many of you, we can change the narrative in the decade ahead.

To close out the year, Parade.com caught up with our Founder, Suzy Amis Cameron, to discuss the inspiration for getting Oprah Winfrey to try plant-based, some of her favorite go-to meals and the staggering statistics on just how much of a difference eating OMD can have on the planet. For instance, did you know one person eating one plant-based meal a day for a year saves 200,000 gallons of water?
