WHY
I am a firm believer that if carbon dioxide was a black gas which filled the sky causing global warming then climate science would be #1 on the legislative ballot. However, since climate change is not as tangible as other issues it is often dismissed and put on the back burner as most people believe that the effects of climate change are a problem of the next generation. Changing global climate has already begun to push foods like coffee beans and chocolate to the brink of extinction by the year 2080. The intention of this project is to help our participants realize how climate change will directly effect their lives by asking them to give up 12 expected-to-go-extinct foods for one week and sharing their experience.
