About EcoPlate
EcoPlate was created to address one of the most significant contributors to climate change: our food system. We believe that small changes in how we cook and eat can collectively make a massive difference for our planet.
Our mission is to empower individuals to make environmentally conscious food choices through accessible, delicious recipes and educational resources about sustainable cooking practices.
