Master, Sir Paul McCartney,
he has a documentary for
the Vegetarian Society
since 1995
and it’s so complete.
It explains absolutely
everything about the
devastation of the planet.
I could see the UK making
a lot of changes.
A lot of changes.
For example, talking
about the plastic bottles,
and they showed
millions of plastic bottles.
Master, it’s millions and
millions of plastic bottles
and they were talking
and they’re going
against the construction
of another plant
for Heathrow;
so all the three mayors
are going against it.
I know. It’s terrible.
And they were
interviewing people
and they were saying,
“Why do you use
these plastic bottles?”
and they said
“because it’s convenient.”
Yes, yes, I know.
But when they show it
on the camera,
the millions of bottles
just frighten me,
floating everywhere
on the water.
The plastic, as you know,
it never disappears
from the planet.
Yes, I know.
But nowadays,
they make it degradable,
it’s better. (Okay.)
If they use that, it’s okay.
If not, just use recyclable.
At home,
we use filter water.
We put it in a plastic bottle,
the old one
that we have used before.
Because
if you put it outside,
it’s not recyclable
so I use them, I keep
them to put water in,
sometimes filter water,
sometimes not,
to carry around
to water the plants
or wash the dogs.
But they’re not
mineral water.
When I’m cooking,
it’s filter water; it’s
in the mineral water bottle
but it’s not,
because we use those
attached to the faucet,
the small, about
your wrist’s size like this,
you attach it to the faucet.
Very easy, you can do it,
into the pipe, water pipe,
and then the filter water
comes out.
Also, you can buy those
filter bottles with
something in them already.
You just pour water on it
and then water drops down,
it’s all clean.
No need to buy
mineral water actually.
My God.
Okay, we have to
think about it.
Suppose, suppose
nobody does anything
and the planet kaput.
What will you do?
Any idea?
You’ve seen how many
“Time to Act” before?
Before don’t have.
Now if you look
everywhere,
they’re doing something
for the environment.
Yeah, I hope they do it all
and quick enough.
I hope the government
really put their thumb
into it.
That’s all I hope for,
and the media. Every day.
And just ban this,
ban that, and
just no meat anymore
and then we’re saved.
Truly! Very simple.
Just use meatless diet,
animal-less diet;
sustainable energy,
limitless sun
or wave power;
and plant trees –
everybody plant
a couple of trees only,
not a lot –
and the government,
instead of put money
into war, they just use
the money to pay people
to plant trees
where the desert,
where the dry climate,
where it’s already
damaged to revive
the atmosphere.
Very simple.
We’d be happy to also
go out and plant trees
free of charge, and our labor
and anytime we can
if the government is
really behind every part
of this program.
We will also be happy
to go out and
cook vegetarian,
show everybody.
In all of our houses,
we invite people
come into our house and
show them how to cook
vegetarian.
After a few weeks,
they know how.
Yeah? Okay?
If you can do that first,
okay? All right.
But what I mean is,
if the government is really
behind it
and the media behind it,
they just have to put down
that piece of meat
even if that is a sacrifice,
it’s really worth it.
It’s really the most
noble thing they could do
in their whole life.
You know what I mean?
Just put down
that piece of meat
and replace it with the
veggie meat.
We have so much
food to eat, not that
we don’t have choice.
Why don’t they just try it?
Okay, from now,
each of you should be
teacher, understand me?
Anywhere you go,
anybody you meet,
you talk about it.
You invite them
to your house, show them
vegetarian cooking.
Show it on hand,
otherwise if they just
see it on TV,
it may be different.
Use your personal
energy, love,
to show them.
We just spread out,
we do what we can.
Use your time for
saving the planet.
Show them how to cook
vegetarian food. Understand?
Every house I want to
turn into a restaurant;
a veggie restaurant;
show them what you eat.
If they don’t know
what vegetarian is,
they don’t know
how to do it.
Truly, they don’t know.
Even if some people
know how, know that
vegetarian is good,
they don’t know how.
They even ask
on the internet:
“How did you do it?”
You see?
Truly some people have never
heard of it before.
They never think about it.
So we do that,
all of you in the world,
teach them how
every day, every time
you can. All right?
Invite them at random,
show them how.
Invite them as the guest,
unconditional.
Show them how.
Anybody
who smiles at you,
you talk to them
and invite them
for coffee and then
invite them to your home.
“I live nearby!
I didn’t know such
a lovely neighbor existed.
Wow, what an honor!
Let’s go to my house,
have a cup of coffee.”
And then from then on...
Start it, understand me?
I’m not joking.
Do something. Okay?
Because you’re out there.
I do it on Supreme Master Television
and cook for my dogs.
I talk to whomever I can
also.
But I’m also very busy
for the planet stuff.
Do that, okay?
Restaurant owner...
restaurateur, restaurateur...
Learn to cook well and
learn to show it.
With your smile,
stone will melt,
and with your food,
the heart will melt.
It won’t lose anything,
you know what I mean?
Vegetarian is very cheap,
you can always afford
to invite some,
and it’s a good
investment.
It saves the planet.
It’s worth it.
You try what you can.
Through Supreme Master
Television,
through flyers,
through books,
through internet–
influence a lot, a lot.
But still,
habits die hard.
Just tell them
“change the habit.” That’s it.
Invite whoever you can,
show the vegetarian diet,
make them feel welcome.
It’s like everything else.
Put candles and all that.
How much does it cost?
Not so much.
It doesn’t have to be a lot.
Make it festive and
welcome and homey.
Make the food taste good
and then they come back
for more and then
show them how to.
Because truly,
they don’t know.
I’m telling you the truth.
Not many people know
how to cook vegetarian.
Just to think vegetarian,
they think just to
eat beans,
green beans,
the string beans,
and then they worry
they become like string.
Surely many would
advise you,
“Oh, vegetarian!
Can you live on that?”
“Is it nutritious enough
that way?”
They ask you like that
because they don’t know,
truly.
Because they don’t
research into that,
they’re not used to it.
I hope I live to see the
day that the government
really ban meat
because it’s also
poisonous to people.
Not to talk about
methane gas,
you know, or waste gas,
or depleting energy
or water or medicine,
nothing yet.
Yeah, it’s poisonous.
Meat makes everybody
sick. Meat is poisonous,
everybody knows that.
Leader of the people,
supposed to be leader,
you have to help
to protect people.
Suppose you know
something is poisonous
to your children,
will you deliberately
give it to them?
To kill them?
No! No, right?
So now all the evidence
points out that
meat is also poisonous,
alcohol is bad -
just ban them outright.
There’s
no more discussion.
Poisonous things,
you don’t give it
to your people.
You don’t allow it to be
near your people.
And even children
have access to alcohol,
have access to alcohol,
not to talk about meat.
That’s why I said,
“Just leave the meat alone
and we have
everything else.”
Even oil is fine.
Even oil, if we have it
we can use it until we
have something better
for our planet.
But if we stop
the animal raising,
stop animal products,
then we cut
a big percentage, 80%,
of pollution to our planet,
and stop 80%
of global warming.
So, we can continue
to have oil and cars.
I know people will be
surprised hearing me
saying this but, no,
it is true like that.
Because
we have not invented
enough instruments
for transportation
and other uses, so
we may continue to
use the oil if we have it.
Of course, the better
if we don’t use,
but at the moment
we must use it.
And if we just leave
all the meat,
animal production alone,
then we can use anything.
So, what I say is:
Stop the meat production,
which will bring
great benefit
to the environment
of your country.
Since Mexico is
also involved in
the livestock industry
there is also sustainable
resource development
as an alternative to oil
as well, if we have it
quick enough.
You see, your country
already has begun this
with a large wind energy
project near the city
of La Ventosa,
which I understand
means “the windy.”
Sustainable energy,
in general, is also
showing itself to be
very profitable and
job producing to people.
So, there can be
both economic and
environmental benefit
from developing
sustainable energy.
And the Earth
will be protected.
But animals industry is
the number one enemy
of our survival.
Dear Master,
I’m very glad to be part
of the conference.
The developing countries’
main source of energy
is coal that emits
an enormous amount
of carbon dioxide.
The future tendency
is to use more coal.
Is there any other way
to neutralize
global warming?
Yes, Professor.
In the news recently,
there are many
developing countries
which are making use of
green technologies
such as solar energy,
which is clean
and sustainable,
and they’re also trying to
minimize the use of coal.
We know from scientists,
great scientists such as
Dr. James Hansen of
NASA, that much of the
carbon dioxide emitted
from coal burning stays
in the air for more than
a thousandyears.
So, another harmful
element of coal burning
is the black carbon,
or soot, that contains
up to 40 different
cancer-causing chemicals
that would also cause
lung and heart diseases.
Also, the byproducts
of coal plants are highly
toxic and can damage
the health of people
and animals alike.
So, every country
should help each other
to develop more
sustainable energy
for our shared planet
as well as to protect
the health of the people
and the animals.
We just cannot
burn away or use up
all our precious
natural resources,
and in the process
harm our environment.
We must adopt
sustainable, green, frugal
lifestyles which
will support all life
on the planet.
Again, since you ask,
the first step is to end
the killing of animals
for food.
Even Dr. James Hansen
highlighted this fact, as
he said that being veg is
the most effective means
for anyone to
save the planet
without any ado,
without any documents,
without any trouble.
