Algae bloom tides product of global warming and animal agriculture. Increasingly
since the 1970s, the Brittany region in the northwest of France has
experienced the phenomenon of “green tides” in which huge quantities of
Chlorophytas algae remain suspended in the water.
The algae has
not only caused beaches to close and affected tourism, it also emits
the toxic and lethal hydrogen sulfide as it dries.
Experts say
the algae has appeared in Brittany’s waters due to global warming,
which creates conditions for new species to flourish, as well as animal
agriculture, which pollutes the waters with phosphorus and nitrogen,
causing the algae into further bloom.
Mr. Jean-François
Piquot, spokesman for the Water and Rivers of Brittany Association, is
recommending the avoidance of these concentrated animal operations.
Thank you scientists, Mr. Piquot and Water and Rivers of Brittany Association, for your insights and suggestions.
Let
us all do our part by making organic vegan choices at every meal to
return Brittany to her long-admired beauty and our ecosphere to balance
and harmony.
Always working to better the quality of life on
Earth, Supreme Master Ching Hai again emphasized the need to adopt a
plant-based lifestyle during a July 2008 videoconference with Supreme
Master Television staff.
Supreme Master Ching Hai:
If people are well-informed on time, they can take measures against
calamity by heeding wise counsel and react according to correct advice.
Things can always change overnight if people turn and walk in
the right direction. We know meat eating, scientifically, physically
speaking is the major cause of our planet’s destructive direction.
Then
we must turn around and walk in the opposite direction. The opposite of
meat diet is a vegetarian, compassionate diet. All the animal products,
all the killing of men or animals must be stopped if we want to stop
the climate change. Stop killing and global warming will stop,
immediately, because we turn in the other direction.

study by the US Geological Survey (USGS) involving three glaciers,two
in Alaska and one in Washington state, found that they are losing mass
at an ever faster pace.
These findings are based on data
collected over a more than 50-year period in what is thought to be one
of the longest studies of its kind.
Dr. Edward Josberger with
the USGS Water Science Center in Washington stated that the impact
could be severe for both humans and the environment.
Our sincere thanks, Dr. Josberger and US Geological Survey scientists for alerting us to yet another reflection
of the perilous state of our globe. Let us act now to preserve the vital natural cycles of our Earth.

efforts to reduce global warming effects as well as to improve the
nation's environmental and economic health, Chinese cabinet members
have vowed to prioritize the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions as
part of her national development plans.
In a meeting chaired
by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, the cabinet also called for the
development of low-carbon industry, construction and transportation.
Jiang

Institute said, "This shows climate policy issues are now a central
part of the national strategy."
Our accolades, China for your
commitment to mitigating climate change. Wishing your eco-initiatives
abundant green success for the health of the Chinese people and the
environment.
