Footprint Coalition's "Downstream Channel" is an exploration of the environmental challenges created by our industrial footprint led by Robert Downey Jr. and his co-host and Footprint Managing Director, Rachel Kropa.
Together, they'll talk through some of the most pressing environmental issues facing the planet and enlist a panel of experts (including executives and founders from some of Footprint Coalition Ventures' portfolio companies) who are finding ways for us to walk a little lighter on the world's stage.
Each episode includes a brief but informative overview of issues, a mystery box containing surprises related to the theme of the week, quotes to encapsulate the topics up for discussion and featured interviews with fascinating guests.
Robert Downey Jr. and Rachel Kropa discuss MEATLESSNESS with Tracye McQuirter, an American public health nutritionist, vegan activist, author, and speaker. An advocate for plant-based diets, McQuirter is the author of "Ageless Vegan" and "By Any Greens Necessary" and is focused on making veganism accessible to all. Her latest initiative is 10,000 Black Vegan Women, a free online resource providing nutritional guidance and support to black women who experience the highest rates of preventable chronic diseases in the country.
Keep an eye out for Tracye McQuirter this July, as she has some big news to share about the 10,000 Black Vegan Women movement!
