So…

Fact- Climate change is real.

Fact- Alaskans eat about 9,000 heads of lettuce per day.

Fact- Global agriculture currently uses 70% of all fresh water.

It creates 70% of all water pollution.

Fact- By 2050 Earth’s projected population will be 9.9 billion.

A 70% increase in food production will be required to feed that population.

That’s impossible with our current agriculture.

Fact- 96% of the salad crops consumed in the U.S. are grown in Southern California, Arizona and Northern Mexico.

Fact- Everyone eats food.
