International sustainable cities conference chooses vegan fare. R. Martin Lees – Senior Advisor to the Club of Rome, former United Nations Assistant Secretary-General (M): We are approaching a number of tipping points, particularly in relation to climate change and to ocean and terrestrial ecosystems. If we pass these points, corrective action will both be immensely expensive and very probably ineffective. VOICE: To demonstrate the importance of putting green ideas into practice, a meat-free day was also announced as part of the 3-day conference, which would promote the vegan lifestyle as an effective environmental solution. Lee Hyun-Joo – President of Meat Free Mondays, Oriental pharmacist, Vegan (F): It is the symbol of the best solution to climate change,for the health of the Earth and its residents. Lee Hyun-Joo, Vegan (F): The fact that people all over the world can be happy by sharing such a diet together shows our alternative for the future. Dorji Wangdi – Minister for Labor & Human Resources, Bhutan (M): [The speech] was sort of a total solution, information for us to really give up meat. (dining at table) I like this dish very much, very delicious. In a November 2009 videoconference in Mexico, Supreme Master Ching Hai urged all world leaders to shift to the cost-effective, planet-saving vegan diet. Supreme Master Ching Hai : The governments have the power to make this urgent transition to the organic vegan diet. They should ban all animal products, informing people about the facts of animal products, explaining that because it’s poisoning their co-citizens and piling up far more costs than any gains, economically and environmentally, and because it’s eating up our planet.
According to respected Dutch scientists, tens of trillions of US dollars can be saved by world governments if all the world becomes vegan. In addition, the governments of the world have the power to make the veg trend an exciting movement for everyone toward a healthier lifestyle. http://incheon2010.iclei.org/congress-results/future-of-cities-daily-6-october.html With drought leading to water depletion in Western Australia’s underground Lake Cave, the state government is funding efforts for its first-ever delivery through irrigation technology to preserve rare cave inhabitants. |
