Cool Harvest is a food, faith and climate program by Ohioans for Sustainable Change It is for congregations interested in responding to climate change through educating their members about climate-friendly food choices and engaging them in activities, such as organic gardening, that can inspire and have a positive impact.

It is estimated that nearly one-fifth of climate change pollution comes from the food
industry.
