The OMD Movement is ambitious–and that’s because we believe in (and desperately need) big, exciting change. For the OMD Movement, that opportunity for change is at the intersection of food, health and the environment. From heart disease to climate change, there’s no shortage of research and science that shows us how devastating meat and dairy is for our bodies and the Earth. The OMD Movement is about resourcing individuals — with tools, encouragement and real talk — to migrate to climate-friendly, plant-based diets. The OMD Movement is also about system change — about expanding access and making a great case for schools, businesses, restaurants and communities to move towards more plant-based options. Take our OMD Pledge, download our healthy school lunch or restaurant toolkits, check out our pilot program in North Carolina, or peruse our blogs for recipes, tips, stories of food justice movers and shakers, health advice and more—all at the OMD website.

Born out of OMD, Suzy set her sights on food production—and creating delicious and convenient food to help people everywhere. Suzy initiated a seed-to-fork approach, which led to the formation of a vertically-integrated food company, from the development of seeds, the farming of ingredients, the processing of proteins and the advent of a holistic, new food company: OMD Foods.

MUSE SCHOOL, CA   Founded in 2006 by Suzy Amis Cameron and Rebecca Amis, MUSE School CA’s mission is to inspire and prepare young people to live consciously with themselves, one another and the planet, from early childhood through high school. Fostering individual and passion-based learning, MUSE students achieve academic excellence, learn self-efficacy, practice the values of sustainability, and become compassionate global champions. As one of the greenest schools in the United States, MUSE was the first school in the country to have a plant-based lunch program, designated one of the “Greenest Restaurants in the World,” with 100% plant-based cuisine, 100% solar power and near zero waste.  “MUSE School’s Kitchen has pushed the edge of sustainability from vision to reality,” said Michael Oshman, CEO of the Green Restaurant Association. “I applaud MUSE’s leadership in providing a successful foodservice operation that is in concert with the oft-used word sustainability.”

Based on the success and relevance of MUSE School CA’s environmental values and passion-based learning, MUSE Global was launched as a way to spread the MUSE curriculum around the world through a franchise model. MUSE School includes two thriving, fully accredited campuses and 12 years of curriculum development. The MUSE values are practiced through solar power, zero waste, over 100 garden beds, a climate-friendly, plant-based lunch program based on OMD and more. Ultimately, MUSE inspires and prepares young people to live consciously with themselves, one another, and the planet. MUSE Global provides franchise opportunities for Early Childhood Education, Early Childhood, Early Kindergarten and Kinder. For more information, visit the MUSE Global website.

Plant Power Task Force (PPTF) is focused on showing the impact of animal agriculture on climate change and the environment. Founded in 2014 by Suzy Amis Cameron and James Cameron in partnership with the Craig and Susan McCaw Foundation, PPTF supported the first multi-country studies on global diets and climate change by the independent U.K.-based think tank, Chatham House: Livestock—Climate Change’s Forgotten Sector and Changing Climate, Changing Diets. PPTF also spearheaded the My Plate, My Planet initiative, representing over 200 leading environmental and health organizations, in support of the historic opportunity to link food and the environment in the 2015 U.S. Dietary Guidelines. Currently, Plant Power Task Force is supporting media and communications work to increase awareness on the impact of global meat consumption and promote plant-based food solutions to climate change. The Plant Power Task Force media library will be launched in Fall 2018.

Red Carpet Green Dress was founded in 2009 by Suzy Amis Cameron to raise awareness of the devastating impact of the fashion industry on the environment.

For six years running, the positive fashion campaign and design contest has challenged designers and students worldwide to create an Oscar-worthy dress and tuxedo using environmentally and socially responsible fabrics. Since its inception, the winning designs have been worn by celebrities, graced the Academy Awards and been featured extensively in the international press.
