The League of Women Voters of Henderson County and the Hendersonville Community Co-op
invite the public to a lunch-and-learn program, Eat to Beat the Heat – The Link Between Food
and Climate Change, on Wednesday, September 3, 2025 from 11:30 am-1:30 pm at First
Congregational Church, 1735 5th Ave W. in Hendersonville. The program will address how a
more plant-based diet can help the environment, and provide fundamental and practical
information to help attendees realize that their dietary choices, food sources, and food waste
disposal practices contribute significantly to their personal carbon footprints. Attendees are
encouraged to bring a sandwich, but will also be served samples of vegan salads prepared by the
Hendersonville Community Co-op, the program’s co-sponsor.
