PlantPure Communities’ Water Pods aim to take action in their local communities by providing opportunities for education and outreach regarding the benefits of a whole food, plant-based lifestyle. Advocacy is accomplished through engaging the community in activities such as documentary film screenings, restaurant outreach to increase WFPB meal options, and working to bring healthy change to the menus of institutions such as schools, universities, and hospitals.
Water Pods may organize or participate in veg fests, festivals, conferences, or other large-scale gatherings. Networking with other Pods, participating in the Pod leader Facebook group, and connecting with a “sister Pod” in the PPC network is encouraged, as sister Pods support each other and share resources.
Water Pods may connect with groups on college campuses, participate in community or square foot gardening projects, or get involved with local food banks. Writing letters to the editor and a robust social media presence is common. Connecting with local groups advocating for healthy living, climate and environmental issues, and animal protection is typical for Water Pods.
