FCT checks global warming via healthier dishes

The global sustainability initiative, ‘Eat for Impact’ is birthing in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), with restaurants and government officials aiming to improve planet-conscious options.
  
Consequently, local leaders and businesses are stepping up to encourage the entire city to combat climate change with diet change, backed by all-new, delicious menu items at favourite restaurants. 
 
Community leader, Christopher Isu, is leading the initiative, designed to reduce Abuja’s greenhouse gas emissions by creating greater access to plant-based foods across the city throughout March.
  
Local restaurants, Top7 Orlando, The Churchill Hotel, and Tastia Restaurant, have created exclusive dishes that promote a healthier, more sustainable food system, which would be on their menus all month, and are being amplified by local influencers.
   
The restaurants would add two or more pro-climate dishes to their menus, and at the end of the month, a comprehensive climate report would be published about their impact. The report will highlight the greenhouse gas savings from all participants, including restaurant sales, and any additional food-related efforts from partners like climate offices, community events, and local businesses.
  
Each featured meal reduces environmental impact while showcasing the creativity of plant-based ingredients. To further support the initiative in Abuja, community leaders, throughout the city, have endorsed the ‘Eat for Impact’ initiative as well.
   
“Supporting plant-based eating is one of the most impactful steps we can take as a country, as a nation to reduce our environmental footprint, and I am proud to endorse Eat for Impact,” said  Terseer Ugbor, Member of the House of Representatives and Deputy Chairman, Committee on Environment.
