World Plant Power Day
March 7 · Level 4 · #1381 of 2238
This day celebrates plant-based eating and what it can do for our health and our planet. It invites you to try something new, with no need to become a vegetarian.
How it is celebrated: people cook with vegetables, legumes, nuts and grains, hold meat-free lunches and trade recipes with friends and colleagues. Offices sometimes host a shared meal where everyone brings a plant-based dish.
Lentils, chickpeas, peas and beans are all legumes. With the help of bacteria living in nodules on their roots, they capture nitrogen from the air and enrich the soil.
