Testimonials

"The Meatless Meat Up was a fun, educational and worthwhile event. I was grateful and excited that I was able to move from the waitlist to the attendee list. I learned about induction cooking, how to cook plant substitutes for meat, about commercial meat alternatives, and about cookbooks that will make cooking tasty and healthy meals without real meat easier. I also like the typeform.com tool you used for this survey. It was easier and more flexible and reliable than other form tools that I had to use. " - Meatless Meat Up (for food programming) attendee

"Excellent presentation. Covered everything clearly. I was already leaning heavily toward getting an EV when my 2002 Rav4 dies, but I hadn't thought of so many of the advantages that were discussed. I'm definitely low income, so I'm thrilled to hear about all the financial incentives-far more than I'd have guessed. I'm seriously revved now about getting an EV (couldn't help it, had to pun)" - EV Financial Incentive Clinic attenddee
