and also part of the EcoTeam at the school. Their task — especially during Earth Week April 19 to 25 — is to promote healthy and sustainable eating habits among youth around the school by reducing the amount of meat that they eat, particularly beef. According to Matthew, meat-based diets are not only bad for your body, but also bad for the environment. “Cattle farms produce five billion tons of climate pollution in the form of methane gas emitted after eating,” said Matthew. Cattle farms have become industrialized farming, according to Matthew and Nicolas. To combat that, they have developed a plantbased cooking class
LEAMINGTON — At the April 12 meeting of Leamington Council, CAO Peter Neufeld presented a plan for the Music On the 42 Summer Concert Series at the Sunset Amphitheatre at Seacliff Park. In 2019, the municipality partnered with The Bank Theatre to bring several live summer concerts to the stage at Seacliff Park. “It’s important for residents, tourists and neighbouring communities to see what a wonderful
venue we have in the Sunset Amphitheatre,” said Neufeld. He was asking approval from council for the municipality to once again partner with The Bank Theatre to bring summer concerts back to the amphitheatre. Council had approved in the 2022 budget for $100,000 to be spent on presenting the concerts.

plant, tomatoes and peppers to help offset food costs. The impact on the environment from plantbased eating is expected to be significant. “Animal products produce 30 per cent of the world’s emissions,” said Matthew. So, what’s on the menu? On Wednesday, April 20 they will be cooking and serving up such dishes as stuffed pasta shells, spring rolls and flatbread pizza, while Thursday’s menu will consist of roasted cauliflower tacos and gnocchi. Friday April 22 — which is actually Earth Day — students are asked to wear blue and green and participate in a schoolyard and neighbourhood cleanup.

and with the help of the Eco-Team will hold after-school classes on April 20 and 21. So far, they’ve got eight students in each class. The classes are open to any student interested in learning the benefits of plant-based cooking. According to Nicolas, eating a strict plant-based diet over the long term would greatly reduce the amount of greenhouse gases making their way into the atmosphere. As members of the Eco-Team, Matthew and Nicolas have participated in climate lessons in auto shop, hospitality and construction — three curriculum areas that are greatly affected by climate change.
