Norwegian Environment Minister speaks about the need to reduce meat consumption. SupremeMasterTV: How is the government’s goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions going to be attained? Erik Solheim – Environment and Development Minister of Norway (M): In two ways: By reducing emissions from Norwegian factories, the Norwegian oil industry, cars and traffic in Norway, as well as Norwegian owned ships, that takes out a lot of greenhouse gases. And by contributing to reductions in other countries, for example, by building solar panels or windmills in China or by stopping deforestation in Amazon or Congo. VOICE: The Norwegian government provides website access for citizens to be informed and make “climate pledges.” Minister Solheim firmly supports the call for meat reduction in solving global warming. Environment and Development Minister Solheim (M): We have to reduce the meat consumption. And one way of doing it is of course that a larger amount of what we eat is vegetarian and everything else other than meat. VOICE: During the meeting our Association members respectfully presented Mr. Solheim with a sample of soy-based alternative meat products. Environment and Development Minister Solheim (M): I do not think it’s necessary that it should taste like meat, but this is absolutely, very good tasting. VOICE: Thank you Minister Solheim and Norway for your wise leadership and your nation’s commitment to reducing the effects of climate change. May ever more urgent consideration be given to the important area of animal agriculture, with citizens everywhere enjoying vegetarian alternatives that are lighter for their health and the environment.
