Rise in food prices creates crisis in Central America. We offer our thanks, FAO, for your concerned report about our brethren in Central America. We pray that people turn toward being vegetarian (vegan) to lead more sustainable lifestyles and conserve precious natural resources. Amassed plastic pollution endangers Pacific Ocean wildlife. A big thanks, Captain Charles Moore and Dr. Marcus Eriksen, for your noble endeavors in bringing this environmental predicament to light. May the world heed the call to action found in your work by doing everything possible to reduce and recycle plastics. Formosa’s (Taiwan) EPA head urges less meat consumption. We are grateful, Your Excellency, for your wise proposal. We join you in wishing that people everywhere will switch to a vegetarian (vegan) diet to maintain their health as well as that of our biosphere. During the 3-day Boao Forum for Asia this weekend in Beijing, China, Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt came together with other world leaders and made a call for action against global warming. Mr. Holmgren expressed concern for the growing food insecurity that correlates with our dietary choices, particularly for meat. Par Holmgren: If more and more people eat more and more meat, that will create a big problem, because of the energy, because of the fact that some of these animals are actually eating food that we could eat. And also the problem of the animals creating greenhouse gases. Here in Sweden we’ve been focusing a lot during the last couple of years on energy. We have to create cars that use less petrol or use other forms of fuels. But the next step, and I’m sure that we will be more and more aware of, is that the food in itself is affecting the climate very much. We thank, meteorologist Par Holmgren, for his insights and his dedication to informing citizens on how climate change is affecting their lives. Bravo, Sweden, on your green success story. May we all realize the important economic and social context of climate change and quickly adopt the solutions for our survival. |
