During an interview with Indian newspaper
Financial Express, British climate economist Lord Nicholas Stern voiced
his encouragement for the meat-free lifestyle as a viable climate
solution, stating, “A vegetarian diet is climate friendly. It’s less
carbon intensive. Though eating food is a matter of personal choice, it
is desirable to help people make informed decisions.”
While in
India, Lord Stern was delivering a lecture on “Building an Equitable
Agreement on Climate Change.” Lord Stern is joining several other
notable leaders in voicing support for the climate benefits of a
vegetarian diet. These include United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC) chairman Dr. Rajendra Pachauri; United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change chief Yvo de Boer, and British
former Beatles member, Sir Paul McCartney.
Lord Stern and all
other noble voices, our accolades and admiration for encouraging the
public to consider food choices as an integral part of an eco-friendly
lifestyle. May we all be inspired toward adoption of the plant-based
diet, for our planet and our future.
Supreme Master Ching Hai
has long been a tireless advocate for the world-saving organic vegan
diet, as in an interview with The House Magazine for the September 2009
edition.
Supreme
Master Ching Hai: I wish I could find another solution, but all
the evidence doesn’t favor any other solution except the vegan diet, and
then we can have other solutions when we have more time We have only a
few years now, and we don’t know what comes yet even. Now it’s the swine
flu, but what else． I don’t want to know. I don’t have any other
solution Be green is just by the way. Be veg is the only, the main, the
90% solution.
