Rising seas consuming coastal areas across Africa.

In spite of efforts by a group of African nations to stave off coastal erosion, the sea is gradually taking away lands containing infrastructure, farmland and prime beaches that have brought beneficial tourism revenues to the countries. These higher sea levels resulting from global warming pose increasing threat to both humans and wildlife in countries like Tanzania and South Africa as well as Nigeria, where towns on the southeastern coast have already disappeared. Our prayers for all those affected by climate change in Africa and around the globe. We call upon humankind’s sincere determination to halt global warming and preserve precious lives on Earth.

In a videoconference on December 12, 2008 with dignitaries and the media in California, USA, Supreme Master Ching Hai spoke on coastal erosion and the solution to stopping it.

Supreme Master Ching Hai : So many islands have sunk under water already. Many coastal cities’ land has been eroded. Two thousand more islands are sinking, and 18 islands, what we have known, maybe more, but we don’t know, 18 islands including small nation islands already gone, disappeared under water, sometimes 6 meters under water already, and another 40 are or at risk of sinking, or uninhabitable or begins to be uninhabitable because they cannot cultivate any more because the land become inundated with salty water already. I want to plead with all the planet people. Please stop killing animals. Please have compassion. Please turn to vegetarian diet. Please be vegan; that is to save yourselves and your children. SM: So, organic vegan diet is the answer.

Japan races to build zero emissions electric car

Japanese automakers looking toward zero-emissions vehicles. Full-scale production of the company’s next generation automobile is fast approaching with next year’s planned launch of Mitsubishi’s zero-emission iMiEV, an electric vehicle that runs 160 kilometers on one charge. Nissan is also planning an all-electric car to be available next year, and Toyota is developing a range of green cars as well. In July 2008 Honda began selling the fuel-cell vehicle FCX Clarity in the US, which produces electricity through a chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen, with water as the only by-product. Cruising at up to 620 kilometers and able to recharge within minutes, the first 5 have been delivered to film producer Ron Yerxa and actress Jamie Lee Curtis. A big green salute, Japanese automakers for your innovations in the transportation sector. We look forward to the day when all travel sustains our beautiful planet.
