"Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." —Albert Einstein

While we at Veggie Planet sincerely believe that vegetarianism can help both the well being of our planet and those of us who live on it (human and non-human alike), we also understand that serving sublime vegetarian food is just one part of a much larger effort to address the problems of our day. In addition to using only vegetarian ingredients, we also support local farmers, purchase organic ingredients when affordable, use organic dough from a nonprofit bakery doubling as a homeless service provider, and donate a percentage of our profits to other organizations working for social and/or evironmental change. Finally, we also strive to spread greater awareness of important social/environmental issues through various speaker and other events held either at Veggie Planet or at some other location on our own Planet Earth.
