Prestigious vegan scientist sets out to transform the food industry. Concluding that the planet cannot sustain humanity if consumption of animal products continues to increase, Stanford University professor and US National Academy of Sciences member Dr. Patrick Brown decided to set aside his normal scientific work for 18 months and instead seek to eliminate animal farming across the globe.
His plans include helping people change their diets by showing companies how to create and market tasty vegetarian foods.
For the next six months, he will be working with scientists on models demonstrating that the economic and environmental costs of animal foods are too high to sustain, followed by a year of working with famous chefs and food researchers developing savory vegetarian dishes and a program to overcome food security issues.
Saying that he wants to approach our planetary crisis as a solvable problem, Dr. Brown offered a simple summary of the solution: “Eliminate animal farming on planet Earth.”
Our accolades and admiration, Dr. Brown! May Heaven bless your lofty ideals in speeding our world toward adoption of the lifesaving plant-based fare.As part of her tireless work to aid humanity in facing our precarious global situation, Supreme Master Ching Hai has advocated an urgent transition to the organic vegan diet, as via a video message for a June 2009 conference in Mexico.
Supreme Master Ching Hai : Adopting a plant-based diet can halt as much as 80% of global warming, eradicate world hunger, stop war, promote peace, and it will free up the Earth’s water as well as many other precious resources, offering a lifeline for the planet and for humanity. In short, it will very quickly halt many of the global problems facing us right now. Therefore, it is vital that we do our part to bring to the public’s attention the urgent climate change issues and its solutions; the foremost being the vegan diet, to safeguard our precious planet.

At the Commonwealth Heads of Government (CHOGM) summit in the Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago on Saturday, November 28, government leaders representing the group’s 53 nations reached a consensus in calling for an ambitious and binding agreement on climate change at the crucial December conference in
Copenhagen, Denmark.
Kevin Rudd PM of Australia:Progress is being made. You see, as each day passes, a large number of states coming forward with their own national commitments.
Ban Ki-Moon: There must be a deal in Copenhagen, for the future of humanity.
Queen Elizabeth II:And on this, the eve of the UN Copenhagen Summit on Climate Change, the commonwealth has an opportunity to lead once more. The threat to our environment is not a new concern but it is now a global challenge which will continue to affect the security and stability of millions for years to come. Many of those affected are among the mostvulnerable and manyof the people least wellable to withstand the adverse affects of climate change live in the commonwealth.
The successful 3-day CHOGM meeting, led by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of Britain, brought together dignitaries and heads of state that included UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen, as well as the United Nations Secretary-General
Ban Ki-moon.
At the summit’s conclusion, a joint statement was issued, recommending a legally binding treaty to be adopted within the next year along with the decision to create a US$10 billion annual fund to assist developing countries in addressing climate change, especially vulnerable island and low-lying coastal nations.
Our gratitude Your Majesty and other dedicated world leaders for your firm commitment to an accord in Copenhagen to save our planet. We pray that all nations come together for a caring and effective plan to ensure the survival of all inhabitants on Earth.
