West Long
Branch, NJ- The volunteers at the Monmouth Area
Vegetarian Society (MAVS) are hosting a free vegan potluck and presentation led
by Theresa Lam, who has worked as a formulations chemist and a certified middle
school science teacher. The event will take place at Monmouth University's
Magill Commons Club Dining Room on Sunday, Mar. 30 at 1 pm. The event is free
and open to the public.
During the presentation, Lam will discuss society’s ability
to choose resources that will leave a safe and productive environment for future
generations, rather than cause future harm. “We can all drive the market to
create a system that supports vibrant homes, communities and regional
ecosystems by taking actions that encourage sustainable choices in food system,
energy use, waste reduction and water conservation.”
Our environment is currently being challenged by
unsustainable practices, Lam explained, such as land erosion from unsustainable
practices, the production of excess waste, the misuse of water supply and the
current lack of energy resources. Lam believes that we are ethically
responsible for shifting our actions to allow future generations to not just
survive, but to thrive.
