L'adoption de ces laits alternatifs est motivée par toute une série de raisons, notamment des considérations de santé, des préférences gustatives et une conscience environnementale. Cette dernière est une motivation importante dans le choix des laits alternatifs, en particulier dans la communauté de Smith, de plus en plus sensibilisée à l'environnement.

It follows New York and precedes Milan, but Paris will always be known as a vogue hotspot for the models, designers, and consumers. Paris Fashion Week got off to a hot start with most major fashion companies taking up the calling card for environmental focus. This year, Maria Grazia Chiuri (MGC), creative director of Dior, one of the largest haute-couture brands in history, decided she too would make her mark on the climate change movement.
As you scan the dinner menus after your afternoon class, you may be deciding which options look the tastiest (or at least, whatever is better than the blackened cod). However, in the wake of various climate movements around the world and Smith’s “Year on Climate Change,” you might be wondering how you can lessen your carbon footprint.
