HOUSTON: On Sunday, 27th August, the Jain Center in Houston will be hosting an illuminating talk by Dr. Sailesh Rao on adopting a plant based diet for better health and reducing your carbon footprint. The talk will be held at the Jain Center of Houston, 3905 Arc Street, Houston Texas 77063 and will begin at 2 pm.
Dr. Sailesh Rao is on a tour to inspire the Great Transition to a Vegan World by 2026. At each stop, he uses his personal story to show how we can re-frame commonly held stories to help each other transform our civilization into a life-affirming global culture. In the talk, Dr. Rao presents compelling factual reasons why Veganism is important and why the Great Transition is bound to occur within the next 9 years, by 2026.
