In this show, we welcome Professor Richard Schwartz, Ph.D., to discuss the pressing issue of climate change, and how global catastrophe could be averted. Of course, we speak about the value of adopting plant-based diets in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Richard has been advocating for vegetarian and vegan diets for many years, both in his role as the President Emeritus of Jewish Veg and now as an independent author and commentator. He was early to point out the harm caused to the environment by modern industrial agriculture, and has continued to be a strong voice for environmental protection and against animal cruelty.
Richard is Professor Emeritus, College of Staten Island, and the author of Judaism and Vegetarianism, Judaism and Global Survival, Mathematics and Global Survival, and Who Stole My Religion? Revitalizing Judaism and Applying Jewish Values to Help Heal Our Imperiled Planet, and over 250 articles at JewishVeg.org/schwartz
He is President Emeritus, Jewish Veg, formerly Jewish Vegetarians of North America (www.JewishVeg.org); President, Society Of Ethical and Religious Vegetarians (SERV) and associate producer of ‘A Sacred Duty:Applying Jewish Values to Help Heal the World’ (www.aSacredDuty.com).
Richard has appeared as an Animals Today guest a number of times: 2012, 2012 with Frank Hoffman, 2013, 2014, and 2016.
