Cooking for climate change
Veda Dante, March
2017
The Wilderness Society's latest campaign, What's it Worth, is inviting Aussies to host a dinner party this weekend to help fight climate change.
All we need to do is get some friends together for a home cooked meal using nature friendly, locally sourced (preferably seasonal) ingredients.
Our guests will then be asked to donate what they think their meal is really worth to a fundraising page. Their donation will help The Wilderness Society protect nature and fight climate change now so our children – and their children – don't pay for it later.
