VEG'N OUT SEACOAST
Promoting a Plant-Rich Approach to Eating

Veg-n Out Seacoast (formerly called "Planted for the Planet") is a local, grassroots initiative that works to educate the broader public on the environmental impact of a meat-oriented diet and promote a plant-rich approach to eating.  Our events encourage the public to enjoy a plant-rich meal from a local restaurant or create their own dish at home.

We congratulate the following climate-friendly restaurants and chefs who have enthusiastically joined the Veg’n Out Seacoast 2024 Restaurant Showcase.  We welcome other restaurants to contact us and join in the fun!

You Can Make a Difference!

  • In 2015, the United Nations declared that plant-based diets have the greatest and most immediate benefit to the climate.
     

  • A family of four that skips steak once per week makes as big an impact as taking their car off the road for five weeks.
     

  • If everyone in the U.S. ate no meat or cheese just 1 day a week for a year, it would be like NOT driving 91 billion miles – or taking 7.6 million cars off the road. (The Environmental Working Group - EWG.org.)
     

  • Johns Hopkins University’s research concluded that a plant-based diet emits 87% fewer greenhouse gases into our atmosphere than meat and dairy diets. Reducing animal agriculture creates immediate improvements in land and water conservation, greenhouse gas emissions, and our ability to feed the world’s population.
     

  • A person who follows a plant based diet produces half the carbon dioxide and uses less than a tenth of the petroleum, water and arable land compared to a meat loving friend.
