It's time to use the catastrophe that is COVID-19 as an opportunity for a major reset.
Author and journalist David Quammen talks with Jeffrey Spitz Cohan of Jewish Veg about his critically acclaimed book “Spillover” that predicted a coronavirus pandemic from a wet market in China.
“Spillover” is one of the most important books ever written about the origin and nature of zoonotic diseases, which are viruses and bacteria that transfer from animals to people. Most of the major epidemics and pandemics of the past 30 years have been zoonotic in origin. And animal agriculture plays a big role in that.
Our Pandemic-Free World campaign involves virtual events which include this interview with David Quammen, media outreach, and policy advocacy, educating individuals about the cause of this pandemic.
And this campaign helps people transition to plant-based diets to sustain their health during this crisis and to help prevent future, possibly worse pandemics.
Your investment in this vital effort will help create a pandemic-free world.
