Our Student Outreach encourages community-wide efforts to educate students and parents about the compelling health, environmental, and social reasons for choosing a more healthful diet and lifestyle. We are available to speak to students in auditorium and classroom presentations.

Our Healthy School Lunch Program was part of our student outreach, which began in 1994. We worked extensively in dozens of school districts throughout LI and NYC and helped many concerned parents and school officials move toward lunch programs with less junk and more healthful, whole-food, plant-based offerings. Healthful, eco-friendly food options improve students’ health and mental clarity while offering empowering solutions to many of the urgent problems our society faces.

The Suffolk County Cancer Prevention & Health Promotion Coalition and other Coalition Work: We have participated in this coalition for twenty years, working with public officials and other advocacy groups to raise awareness about the power of our food and lifestyle choices in preventing cancer, as well as a host of other diseases. The Coalition’s mission is to provide residents with actionable information on healthy lifestyles and environmental risk factors to prevent cancer and other chronic diseases. The Coalition also seeks to increase access to care for all county residents by providing education and outreach.

We’ve also teamed up with many other environmental groups and decision-makers to advance policy initiatives that address global warming and transform LI into a leader in creating innovative solutions to the energy and climate crisis, and more.

HealthyPlanet’s Public Speakers reach out to the public via TV, radio, and talks to community groups, legislators, corporations, schools & organizations interested in hearing about the many ways they can individually & collectively improve their health & the world we live in. We aim to empower & inspire organizations to pass this important information on to their own membership. And we do just that!

HealthyPlanet Restaurant Outings: These are social outings with a purpose. Delicious, plant-based food, often paired with knowledgeable speakers on informative topics of all kinds, creates the perfect mix of fun and growth-promoting education. They are also designed to build relationships with restaurants, encouraging them to offer more health-enriching, plant-based options. These events are also an opportunity to meet and enjoy the company of other concerned community members. Good friends make the best partners when it comes to making a difference in our world!

Our Popular Dinner/Lecture Series (Currently on hold.) This included what were Annual Turkey-Free Thanksgiving events for 26 consecutive years! This series firmly established itself as the area’s premier showcase for speakers from around the country on topics relating to health, the environment, and important social issues. Our team members have run well over 100 of these well-attended events since 1990. We consistently drew large crowds and were instrumental in keeping our community on the cutting edge of these topics. These events also provided an opportunity to taste, learn, and share a wide array of delicious, nutritious, whole-food, plant-based recipes while enjoying the company of others interested in making a difference in their personal & global health. Meaningful connections are made between individuals who share these common interests.

Join Us! HealthyPlanet is made up of community leaders with decades of experience, diverse talents & the desire to join together to make a real difference in the world. Our team has been creating meaningful societal change together since 1990. We are committed to helping create a better world based on our vision of what is truly possible. Join us in our vision.
