Women In Sustainability Series, episode 5. 

Introducing Toni Okamoto, Food Blogger and Author of the vegan recipe book, ‘Planet-based and on a Budget: Quick & Easy’.

What if we could help the environment while eating delicious and healthy meals that save both money and time? 

Toni’s new cookbook makes this possible! With 100 recipes that show how easy and affordable it is to cook decadently without meat, eggs, diary—‘Planet-based and on a Budget: Quick & Easy’ is full of helpful advice whether you are fully vegan or just trying to eat more veggies. Toni’s relatable approach is all about “progress over perfection” and that’s what we are all about here at Sustainability Champions!

Plant-based diets have the potential to make a huge positive impact on the environment by reducing diet-related land use, greenhouse gas emissions, and water use as much as it bolsters our health and quality of life. Toni is on a mission, through her work, to share tips that support her readers to reduce the carbon footprint of their diet by growing their own food, homesteading, shopping organic/locally sourced, and more. 

Toni’s message is simple: eat more environmentally friendly and improve your nutrition in the tastiest and most affordable way!  

Toni has appeared on NPR, NBC News, and Parade Magazine and has a sizable following on social media! Through her influence she is making plant-based diets more accessible to more people who think eating healthy is too expensive. 

From the health and environmental benefits, Toni’s work is changing people’s lifestyles for the better. 

On this week’s podcast episode, we speak to Toni Okamoto as part of our ‘Women in Sustainability’ series.
