Eating less meat is one of the most impactful ways to combat the climate crisis, but it can be difficult. 

How many times have you chosen meat again when eating with others, or struggled to find a culturally appropriate dish that your grandma can also enjoy? And how often do you wonder how to make diverse dishes to satisfy the palate?

We all have memory of at least one delicious plant-rich dish. 

The Shared Meal crowdsources that one idea, and multiplies it into many ideas on many tables.

Food is communal. Responding to the climate crisis requires communal action, and that begins with our meals with family and friends.

The shared meal is no small thing.

Food

Crowdsource recipes that are culturally appropriate, diverse, and creative for the multigenerational households of Hong Kong (and eventually beyond!).

Memory

Rebuild the emotional connection with climate facts and plant-rich eating, and rediscover our plant-based food heritage.

Climate

Create a community of everyday people taking action through everyday meals.

The change we want to see:

• We will have affordable options to build a sustainable lifestyle.

• We will be intentional in our consumption habits.

• There will be momentum for change.
