Earth Day Dine & Donate at Hog Island Oyster

Posted on by Lalé

Let’s Give A Shuck For The Earth! On April 20 join Hog Island Oyster Co. for their first Dine & Donate of 2019. 10% of the days sales will benefit the Shellfish Growers Climate Coalition – a partnership with shellfish growers nationwide working collaboratively toward climate action and securing a low carbon future.

Shellfish growers and the Nature Conservancy joined forces to form the Shellfish Growers Climate Coalition, a group dedicated to fighting for a low-carbon future and the renewable energy needed to sustain the shellfish and the natural systems they depend upon. Human impact on the Earth’s climate system is well-documented, and it’s happening right now. The founding farmers of the SGCC recognize that climate change and carbon pollution pose a range of threats to their businesses and to food production more generally.
