Celebra.on – con.nued from page 1 The cuisine was prepared by the famed Michael Mina and his team, and included his signature truffle rolls, as well as his widely known tuna tartare dish. We were lucky to have so many AlfaTech re@rees join us to celebrate. Overall, good @mes were had by all. Many thanks to Beverly Nunes Sequeira, who @relessly pulled together this grand event, ensured the décor was spectacular, and all details were the utmost special.

We’re all looking forward to the next thirty …

AlfaTech throughout the years…

Culng back on meat consump@on can make huge strides in helping our environment. There’s no need to go fully vegan or vegetarian (props if you do!) but the simple act of replacing one meal a day by ea@ng more plant based foods or seafood items can help make a huge difference. Did you know more than 30% of the Earth’s surface is used to support and raise livestock? Imagine this: by culng meat consump@on, we could have more available land to enjoy. A UN study found that the livestock sector accounts for 9% of CO 2 emissions deriving from human- related ac@vi@es, but produces a much larger share of even more harmful greenhouse gases. PAULA’S GREEN TIPS Eat Less Meat (or switch to Grass-Fed) “…more than 30% of the Earth’s surface is used to support and raise livestock…” It generates 65% of human related nitrous oxide, which has 296 @mes the Global Warming Poten@al (GWP) of CO 2 . Culng back on meat is important in reducing the overall emission of GWP gases. Not to men@on studies suggest reducing your meat intake can slash your risk of chronic illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Meat lovers, I haven’t forgooen about you. If you can make the switch and look for grass-fed beef or meat products, that can really make a difference in your health and the environment. Grass-fed meat is higher in cancer-figh@ng conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), omega-3s, vitamin D, magnesium, and potassium.
