To celebrate Earth Day, Neutral Foods, the nation's first carbon neutral food company, is gathering #planetworthsaving videos on Instagram asking Americans "Why do you believe the planet is worth saving?" Celebrities like John Legend, Heather Morris, Jake Johnson, Mark Cuban and Genevieve Padalecki have already participated, and Neutral encourages others to join in the fun by posting an Instagram Reel over the next several weeks, tagging @eatneutral.

"I believe the planet is worth protecting because where else can you stop in the middle of nowhere and dance your heart out?" said Heather Morris, actress, environmentalist, and eco-activist.

The YouGov survey data also reveals 62% of all U.S. adults agree "food choices can impact the planet" and more than half (52%) agree they would switch to a different food brand if it could impact climate change. And, 51% agree that while protecting the planet is important, they don't know what they can personally do to make a difference.

"By making informed choices, consumers can do their part and send a message to food producers and policymakers about the importance of sustainability and climate action," said Sweta Chakraborty, U.S. CEO, We Don't Have Time.

Neutral Foods was founded on the belief that the world is worth protecting and that daily food choices can make a real impact. "Neutral offers only carbon-neutral products including whole and 2% organic milk, providing a simple way for consumers to make an impact simply by the milk they choose," Marcus Lovell Smith, CEO, Neutral Foods.
