PORTSMOUTH — With Earth Day fast approaching, Seacoast eateries are joining a local nonprofit to encourage plant-based foods and reducing environmental impact. Spearhead by Seacoast Area Renewable Energy Initiative (SEAREI), local favorites are participating in “Planted for the Planet" from Thursday, April 22 through Sunday, April 25. The 22 participating restaurants will offer a variety of plant-rich menu items dubbed “Earth Day Entrées" for patrons to enjoy throughout the weekend. Black Trumpet chef and owner Evan Mallett said his restaurant will take part in the “restaurant week type format” to highlight why consuming less meat and conducting more eco-friendly food practices are necessary.
