Reducing meat consumption a sure way to alleviate climate change. Speaking of the United Kingdom’s already established emission goals during a February 3 conference, Soil Association Policy Director Lord Peter Melchett said that these will be met only if consumers reduce their intake of pork and poultry alone by at least 75%.
Lord Melchett stated, “It's ludicrous … not to talk about consumption when we're talking about environmental sustainability.” Meanwhile, he also highlighted the benefits of organic farming, saying that a recently conducted study found that if all the farmland in the nation went organic, the soil could absorb 3.2 million tons of carbon, or the equivalent of removing nearly 1 million cars from the road.
Our appreciation, Lord Melchett and Soil Association, for your encouragement of the transition to meat-free, organic living. May we soon herald a vegan world for the vibrant stability of our precious Earth.
Supreme Master Ching Hai has frequently advocated organic vegan farming and adoption of the same planet-cooling diet, as highlighted in an October 2009 climate change conference in Formosa (Taiwan).
Supreme Master Ching Hai: Without the needless animal industry, not only will we gain forests, we can also have organic vegan farmlands to grow real, decent food for humans, and like the forests, these farmlands can also absorb a lot of heat from the atmosphere.
And a global shift to organic vegan practices could mean 40% of all greenhouse gases absorbed as well, apart from the 50 plus percent that we eliminate through the terminating of the animals raising practice.
World governments could save tens of trillions of US dollars, tens of trillions of US dollars if everyone be veg and plant organic. So you see, 50% less from no more animal industry, 40% less carbon dioxide from organic farming, then we will be singing, our world will be saved.

German company Nanopool has created a spray-on glass technology 500 times thinner than a human hair that protects nearly any surface from dirt, bacteria, heat and ultraviolet radiation, enabling it to be easily cleaned with water while still allowing breathability. The product is created by extracting silicon dioxide
from quartz sand and then adding the molecules to water or ethanol.
In the food industry, tests showed that surfaces treated with this material remained as sterile after cleaning with hot water as with strong bleach, while the product also effectively protected ancient buildings and relics, allowing marks such as graffiti to be easily washed off. Hats off, Nanopool on your innovative new technology! Wishing you abundant success with this and other green contributions as we look forward to celebrating a world full of environmentally friendly products.
