EarthSave is an international, non-profit organization was founded in 1988 by celebrated author John Robbins. The organization was born out of the overwhelming reader response to Robbins' 1987 publication Diet for a New America which described wide-ranging human and social impacts of human food choices. As such, EarthSave's mandate is to educate people about the powerful effects food choices have on the environment, human health, and nonhuman animals and encourages a shift toward a healthy, plant-based diet. The head office for EarthSave is located in New York, USA, but there are dozens of local chapters across the United States and Canada.
