First APS talk for 2023 to tackle climate action and responsible consumption
The upcoming APS talk on Thursday, 26 January will be delivered by Ed Winters (aka Earthling Ed) on Climate action & Responsible consumption: The hidden costs of our food choices. To keep up with the demand for animal products without compromising the environment, we need drastic changes in our food systems. The talk will tackle the complexities of this topic and challenge the view that we are solely consumers. Instead, the argument will be made that we have to become
food citizens, aware of the origin of our foods and the damage caused by our everyday choices. Drawing on the latest science and most up-to-date research, this talk will analyse the impact our food choices have and ask the question, what will the future of food look like?
Winters is an educator, filmmaker, author, public speaker and entrepreneur based in
London whose work focuses on the environmental impacts and ethical implications of our diets. Ed has already spoken at various companies like Google and Facebook, universities like Harvard, Yale and Cambridge and co-working spaces like WeWork and Makers of Barcelona. He has also given two TEDx Talks and been featured by news outlets like the BBC, The Times, EuroNews
and The Guardian. In the autumn of last year Ed co-taught a course at Harvard University that was led by Dr Sparsha Saha on animals, politics and the use of media to promote animal rights.
