Plant Based Outreach at Eden Prairie Eco Expo

Volunteer to Do Outreach at the Eden Prairie Eco Expo! Join us at the Eden Prairie Eco Expo this May. We are looking for a few volunteers to run outreach games to help attendees learn about how plant-based diets reduce our environmental impact. We have several different shifts available. Sign up here! https://caa.mn/event/eco-outreach-the-eden-prairie-eco-expo/ What is the Eden Prairie Eco Expo? The Expo is a program of the Rotary Club aiming to raise awareness of what actions people can take to positively impact the environment, whether it’s switching to an electric stove or eating a plant-based diet. You may want to plan time to walk around the expo before or after your volunteer shift. Highlights of the event include: Seed planting opportunity A cooking demo and samples from Wholesome Minnesota Lots of eco-friendly exhibitors Kid-friendly activities like coloring sheets Volunteering at CAA Plant-Based Outreach At the event, we’ll be tabling between 10am and 5pm. Each volunteer shift is just a few hours long. Volunteers will engage over 100 attendees in discussing how to make our diets more eco-friendly by moving towards plant-based eating, offer people food samples, and invite interested people to take the Veg Pledge. At the front table, we’ll have a matching game where attendees match the resources (like gallons of water) to a food they might eat. This helps everyone learn about how plant-based eating can help our climate, our land, and our water. Don’t worry, we’ll make sure you have the answers, and the food samples to offer, and walk you through your first few interactions! Most people enjoy playing the game and thinking about all that goes into our food. Who can volunteer? If you’re passionate about the climate impact of our diet, or about helping people move towards plant-based eating, this event is for you. We’ll support you in how to do effective outreach. All are welcome to volunteer and no experience is required. The venue is ADA accessible, and there is free parking at the center. Get involved at other Compassionate Action for Animals (CAA) events! Compassionate Action for Animals (CAA) hosts many events throughout the year, including Twin Cities Veg Fest, the Twin Cities Vegan Chef Challenge, Vegan Recipe Club, outreach events, dine-outs, documentary screenings, potlucks, and so much more! If you can’t make this event, or just want to know about other opportunities to get involved with CAA, we’ve got so many ways to connect with the community and make a difference for animals and the environment.
