Supreme Master Ching Hai on the Environment:
Save Our Planet: Eliminate the Production of Meat – P4/6
Compilation of Supreme Master Ching Hai's lectures

“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, all 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.
And Mexico can
make use of
this advantage of oil
to elevate the standard
of living of the people.
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 the animal industry is
the number one enemy
of our survival.
We could change
in order to help solve
the climate problem.
Just leave one piece
of meat and we have
everything else
as it is right now,
and more later on,
as the forest will regain
its strength and grow back
to the lushness situation
again and then
attract more rain
and protect the soil
and cool the planet.
As I’ve said already,
CO2 will linger too long,
up to 10,000 years
in the atmosphere,
but methane dissipates
quickly.
And the most factor
that contributes to
our global warming
right now is methane,
and methane comes from
livestock raising.
Do you see my logic? (Yes.)
Yes, okay? Good.
So if we cut methane,
the planet cools down
quick.
If we cut the CO2 and
still keep the methane,
then it doesn’t help much.
Besides, we cannot
cut CO2 that quick,
because we don’t have
other technological
inventions right now
to replace the one
that we have.
How many electric cars
do you see running
on your
United States streets yet?
How many?
Maybe one, two, three.
How much CO2
does that cut? Not much.
But the methane pollution
came from
livestock raising,
so if we stop that,
no more heating!
No more heating
of the planet.
Because if we stop
livestock raising,
that means stop also
forest clearance –
it’s because most of
the forest clearance is for
planting stuff for animals.
So, we water the plant
from the root is the best.
If we cut the meat diet,
everything else cut:
no more transportation
for meat, no more
deep freeze for meat,
no more manure runoff
into our rivers and
contaminate our rivers –
and because of that,
we have to use more
chemicals to clean it,
so we just give
more and more chemical
into our bodies.
And then, if no more meat,
then no more
forest clearing.
Then we don’t even need
to plant trees that much;
the forest will recover
itself as we have seen
in some areas.
Just leave it alone:
nature will take care,
truly.
All we do is just
work with nature and
nature will take care
of everything.
God doesn’t put us
on this planet to die;
God provides everything
already.
It’s just we overspend,
we do not heed
the advice of the Bible.
In the Bible, God says,
“I made all the herbs
in the field, plants that bear fruit.
That shall be your food.
I made also the plants
for the animals;
that shall be their food.”
God never said, “I made
animals for you to eat.”
It’s so clear. I wonder
why nobody saw it.
God even says, “Do not
kill all the she-goats
and the he-bullocks
to make offerings to me
because your hands are
full of innocent blood.
Repent yourself.
Do not kill any more
innocent lives;
otherwise if you pray,
I’ll turn my head away
from you.” No?
Are there such things
in the Bible?
Yes, it’s in the Bible.
Reverend, tell me.
I’m not making it up.
I think it was Isaiah.
Absolutely, you’ve
quoted it absolutely.
The Rabbi just told us
it’s Isaiah.
He knows it by heart.
But I know it’s there
because I read it
when I was young.
I was a kid,
I read the Bible,
I slept with it.
I don’t probably
remember as much as
the Reverend there does,
but I do know.
I do know that God
does not tell us to eat meat.
Hes says,
“Meat for the belly,
belly for the meat,
God shall destroy
both meat and them.”
“Do not be among
meat eaters
and alcohol drinkers.”
Not to be among them
even, not to talk about
being one ourselves.
So,
in all kinds of directions –
religious, scientific, and
health - meat is a no-no.
So, from now on,
we have to realize that.
And please
tell everybody else.
I know
you know it already.
Please, just don’t be
just a vegetarian.
Be a heroic vegetarian!
Be out there, tell people.
Do something.
I need your help.
Thank you.
The only way to avoid
the “point of no return”
climate catastrophe
is to take action
on the most climatically
disastrous course of all –
that is, meat production.
By now
we have all the evidence,
all the information
to safely say so.
The livestock industry
is the top greenhouse gas
generator.
The last published findings
from the United Nations
in 2006 told us that
the livestock industry
causes greenhouse gas
emissions more than
all the world’s
transportation sectors
combined - aeroplanes,
trains, cars, motorcycles,
etc., altogether.
Updated calculations
tell us that
the livestock industry
is responsible for
at least 50% of
the global warming.
There are three reasons
why the livestock
industry is the first cause
of global warming
that we should focus on.
First, livestock is the
primary human-caused
emitter of methane,
and methane
not only has 72 times
the heat-trapping ability,
it is a shorter-lived gas.
This means that it will
leave the atmosphere
much faster than CO2,
within just a decade
as opposed to
thousands of years for CO2.
Therefore,
eliminating methane
by eliminating
livestock breeding
is the fastest way
to cool the planet.
Yes, we have to tackle
the most important
of emitters.
Next, the pollutant
known as aerosols,
you already know, or
particles released along
with CO2 from burning
fossil fuels, actually
have a cooling effect.
Some scientists say it is
roughly canceling out the
warming effect of CO2.
Therefore,
much of the warming
we are seeing may
actually be due to methane.
In fact,
it is due to methane, and
its number one source,
that is animal raising.
Third, NASA scientists
are paying
increasing attention
to another very serious
source of global warming
- that is black carbon.
I’m sure you know that.
This is
the particulate matter
known as soot, S-O-O-T,
and it is 680 times more
heat-trapping than CO2.
Black carbon is landing
on the ice in Antarctica,
absorbing the sun’s heat
and accelerating
the ice melt.
The majority of
the black carbon particles
in Antarctica
are coming from where?
South American
rainforests that are burned
for the livestock industry.
Now we’re going
somewhere!
We must urgently
address methane
and black carbon –
both outcomes of
the meat industry.
Immediately
we have to tackle it.
I pray all wise leaders
will halt
the lethal meat practice,
which is the main force
driving us to the point
of no return right now.
Otherwise, all other
efforts to de-carbonize
our economies
may be cancelled out,
or never have a chance
to materialize
in the first place.
Is this latest news
about NASA’s discovery
of methane related
to the Mars people
living underground?
Could be, could be
Because they have to
pump their toxic gases
from their activities
from underground to
the surface of Mars
so that they can detox
and purify the air that
they breathe.
Thank you, Master.
Next question:
Since how long
have Martians been
living underground?
Since after the mass
destruction on Mars,
they have begun to
live underground,
ever since then.
I see. Thank you.
And the Martians
currently
living underground,
are they aware of
what had happened
in their planet’s history?
They have been told.
They passed on
the knowledge of what
happened of their planet
to their children
and grandchildren,
even though
it’s 40 million years ago.
They retain the history
of what happened so that
the descendants know
how to take care of
what they have and
not to be careless,
and not to be
so destructive anymore
but more virtuous
and spiritual.
They must live like that.
Yes. And Master,
during the destruction
of the planet,
how did they die?
Oh, terrible.
Let me check.
The mass extinction
came, they died – not only
human beings on there,
but the animals also –
they died by two main
poisonous gases,
namely hydrogen sulfide
and nitrous oxide,
plus methane
as the third course.
But hydrogen sulfide
and methane
from the livestock begun
to warm the climate and
then triggered more other
gases from the ocean,
from permafrost
and glaciers
around their planet.
Just like
what is happening to
our planet right now.
Let me see if
anything else I need to…
Okay, I check, okay?
One moment.
I’m checking…
if anything else.
They died an agonizing death.
Not like quick death,
but slow.
It took man and animals
around four days to die
a very painful and
suffocating slow death.
As the destruction
happened too fast,
no one could help anyone.
Ninety percent of the population,
including the animals,
they died
and then some time later,
another 5% also died.
And then a while later,
3.8% also died.
Only 0.2% of them
escaped,
around 2 million, into
the underground caves
and then they dug deeper,
longer,
and they lived next to
the underground river,
and that’s how
they survived.
