We are the world's resource for everything Green and Hip Hop. We center our work and programming around six pillars: Plant Based Eating: We teach the importance of plant-based eating for our health and for the environment. We share how to cook and prepare plant-based recipes; where food comes from; how it is processed, marketed and distributed into their community. Organic Gardening: The Cherry Street Farm and Lab is key to fulfilling Hip Hop is Green's mission of creating healthy communities by promoting plant-based, culturally relevant eating and teaching Black, Indigenous, and other youth of color (BIPOC) ages 12 to 24 traditional organic and innovative hydroponic farming methods and reconnecting them to a long tradition of BIPOC farmers. Fitness: The goal is to get the community involved with fitness and knowledgeable about their body and how it works. Sobriety-Mental Health: We wish to promote sobriety in hip hop culture and plan on developing a program to reach out to those suffering from drugs and alcohol. Food Justice: Healthy food should be a right, not a privilege. Our goal is to educate and create policy changes in schools and communities. Animal Rights Activism: We want to encourage youth and families to care about animal rights. Gandhi once said “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” We progress these pillars through our Youth Excellence Program, our Direct Action Events, our Green Dinners, and programming at our Cherry Street Farm.

This is the 10th Element of Hip Hop of Hip Hop. A new lifestyle for the culture. Youth no longer just have the entertainment options. They can be engineers , climate scientists, city planners and more. This week at our Youth Excellence Program. We went to Mount Saint Hellens- learned about the largest eruption in the US in 1980. Then we learned from @avela_uw . The youth conducted sustainable cement tests and studied about how climate change affects communities. #hiphopisgreen #youthexcellenceprogram #climatechange #avela

15 years ago today Keith Tucker produced the very first Hip Hop Green Dinner to bring health and wellness to our communities. These Dinners were the first ever of its kind in Hip Hop where we brought Emcees to perform and speak and then served a full vegan meal. We went on the produce the first national plant based Hip Hop tour ever and over the years produced many events and served over 40k free meals to youth and families. We helped build a vegan health and wellness movement in the black community. Who would know that this first small event would change Hip Hop forever! In 2016 Keith Tucker, founder of Hip Hop is Green created a new element in the culture of Hip Hop the @10thelementofhiphop which is health and wellness. Today we celebrate dedication, service and community building on our 15th anniversary and we are excited about the many new projects we have that serve our youth. Shout out to @elcentrodelaraza @fieldroast @seattlevegfest .

Want to know why hip hop culture is the most powerful vehicle to create change? Check out this podcast interview about how the birth of hip hop created systemic change and because of that, became weaponized with commercialization that degraded the culture. But that’s not the end of the story. The new Green Age of Hip Hop is building momentum, and here’s how: https://lnkd.in/g_7nNE9y
