On
China Central Television (CCTV-9), news journalist Wang Mangmang is
host of a program series called “My Low Carbon Life” and reported
recently how being veg is catching on in China as a way to curb climate
change.
She went on to say that this trend is actually being set
by the younger generation. Dong Ziyang, manager of the organic
vegetarian Jintai Catering Club said, “The average age of our customers
is under 33 years old...
Young people are more environmentally aware
and more open to new ideas.” The journalist also cited the United
Nations report on animal agriculture generating more greenhouse gases
than all the transportation in the world combined, and concerns about
livestock being the cause of environmental desertification and
deforestation.
She stated, “As more and more people strive for a low-carbon lifestyle, the climate-diet equation is becoming more prominent.”
Our
appreciation and applause, journalist Wang Mangmang and CCTV for
sharing the eco-statement being made by the low-carbon diet.
Blessed
be such programs as yours in benefiting many viewers as well as the
animals and our Earth. Speaking during a May 2009 videoconference in
Togo, Supreme Master Ching Hai highlighted the key role of the younger
generation in being good stewards for the environment.
Supreme Master Ching Hai:
I’m happy to see young people especially involved in endeavors like
this, which contributes to human health and also the planet.
Supreme Master Ching Hai:
They are also often the most open-minded people. They are intelligent,
they are easy, they are an impressionable and honest group of people.
Once they make a connection of global warming to their lives, they may really decide to do something.
Especially if they understand that what they do can truly make a difference, they may be the first ones to take action.
They
can be true heroes, by being vegan and spread the news of this
solution. They can save lives, including their own, but also of people
all over the world, and countless animal lives around the world.
The
young people are oftentimes the most ready to change their lifestyle if
they see a reason for it. Their age group is also, in many cases, the
first one to see that veganism is good, it is correct.
