Supreme Master Ching Hai : A
decade ago, there were 25 million climate change refugees – with the
estimate now of 1 billion by 2050. Estimate. These are people forced
from their homes and communities due to rising sea levels and a host of
other natural disasters, so-called natural disasters, but in fact these
are all man-made.
As a result, more and more countries may have
to help cope with the swell of displaced people, hoping they can - if we
even can cope with it. In this dire situation when all countries
already have to cope with different problems – financial crisis, food
crisis - and we have to cope with this sudden surge of immeasurable
force of refugees.
These situations will only worsen, not
improve, until we stop the cause. This means to halt the livestock
production and meat consumption. I can never emphasize this enough. If
humans switch to the vegan diet, the Earth will begin cooling
immediately and many of these dilemmas can even be reversed.
So please, be veg and do good, to save the planet and all the beings on it.
