Just Economies

Eat a FREE Plant-Based Lunch at CST

By eating plant-based an individual can reduce their carbon footprint by 2.1 tons annually! If eating completely plant-based isn't realistic for you, simply reducing the amount of animal products you consume can make a big impact. Take advantage of the free and delicious vegetarian meals that CST provides!
