Green Initiatives & David Laris Event Series w/ Own What You Eat
绿色倡议，David Laris与Own What You Eat联合宣布食品系列活动
Food is not just something that we put into our bodies but also essential nutrition, childhood memories, culture, hobbies, and professions. Our food system has a huge impact on our body, our society and our planet. The current challenging times have further influenced our perception about food.
食物不仅是我们放进身体的东西，也是基本的营养、童年记忆、文化、爱好，甚至职业。我们饮食方式可以对世界产生巨大的环境影响。现在的挑战时代下也影响了我们对食物的看法。我们也希望趁此时机以新的角度去审视如何去吃和吃些什么。
We’d like to take this opportunity to look at how and what we eat in a new light. Enter the Own What You Eat (OWYE) food-focused event series.
诚邀您参加Own What You Eat（OWYE）系列活动。
OWYE is a six-part series of engaging, fun and insightful events that focus on accelerating towards a healthier and more ethical food system. Topics such as global overview of plant-based food consumption, organic farming, healthy fast food, buying local and limiting food waste will be some of the key highlights of this event series, to inspire change agents. Presenters and guests will be various stakeholders in the food chain and thought leaders: restaurateurs, writers, chefs, suppliers, consumers, farmers and more.
OWYE由六个妙趣横生又不失真知灼见的系列活动组成，旨在促成一个更加健康也更合乎道德的饮食体系。对于植物性饮食的全球消耗概况，有机农业，健康快餐，当地采买以及减少食物浪费等主题的讨论将会是本系列活动的重头戏，我们也希望此举能激励渴望变革的人。主持人和嘉宾都将会是饮食产业的不同环节的利益相关者以及意见领袖，例如餐馆营业者，作家，大厨，供应商，消费者，农户等等。
According to Cristina Ng, Managing Editor, Own What You Eat:
Own What You Eat的主编Cristina Ng说道：
“As a new conscious consumption-driven media lifestyle media platform, OWYE is excited to be working both with Shanghai's longest-running environmental advocacy and action-focused organization, Green Initiatives and David Laris (celebrity chef, restaurateur, cruelty-free and sustainable dining advocate, entrepreneur and social influencer).”
“作为一个积极推行消费驱动型生活方式的社交平台，OWYE本次十分荣幸能与上海运营时间最长的环保组织Green Initiatives以及David Laris（著名厨师，餐馆老板，无残酷性和可持续性饮食的拥护者，企业家和社交名人）合作。”
This event series is a collaboration between Own What You Eat, Green Initiatives and David Laris. Big thank you to event sponsor Z-Rou, who take the ethos “Own What You Eat” to heart and are glad to support and promote such an important conversation. Additional support comes from media sponsor Nomfluence.

“We believe that events should be engaging, educational and fun. With the OWYE event series, this is exactly what we plan to do. Coincidentally, Green Initiatives began in 2009 at the URBN Hotel in Shanghai, which was also where David had his signature restaurant, ‘Downstairs by David Laris!’” says Nitin Dani, Founder & Director, Green Initiatives.
Green Initiatives的创始和领导者Nitin Dani说道：“ 我们相信本次活动将会吸引大量关注，将寓教于乐，发人深省。无巧不成书，在2009年Green Initiatives是在上海的艾本酒店成立的，那里同时也是David的知名餐厅所在之处。‘就在David Laris楼下呢!’
“I am especially happy to be involved in a forum promoting cruelty-free and sustainable dining within the larger picture of environmental protection, charity and wellness,” says David Laris.
David Laris也表示：“我很荣幸能在环境保护、公益和健康的大主题下参与这样一个推行无残酷性和可持续性餐饮的论坛。
