Actions for Africa to remedy climate change. At a time when only a fast solution can make a real difference for the globe, Supreme Master Ching Hai offers a clear and practical way to save the planet. She spoke during the live “Be Organic Vegan to Save the Planet,” videoconference with dignitaries, government, media and the public in Lome, Togo, addressing some concerns specific to the African continent. Although research has indicated that livestock production in Africa is not on as large a scale as abroad, it is nevertheless an excessively carbon-intensive activity that has been growing
in scale, based on anticipated demand.
Supreme Master Ching Hai highlighted this as an activity that, very simply, must be halted for life on Earth to be preserved.
Supreme Master Ching Hai: If we eliminate meat from our diet, global warming is reduced very quickly by a tremendous amount, if not the most of it. If everyone becomes vegan, stops raising more animals for food, and instead growing organic vegetables, our Earth and the environment can be saved, and as quick as we could not even imagine, in a few weeks.
Another important part of the remedy is to do good deeds to spread the positive good energy. Also, we can pray to Heaven for mercy and protection. We need Heaven’s intervention and we need everyone now to cooperate to save the planet by being veg, going green, and doing good.
I too pray for Africa’s well-being and I’m praying also for the planet’s well-being. Thank you.
VOICE: We thank Supreme Master Ching Hai for her insights that light the way to humanity’s survival. Let us seek Heaven’s protection through our virtuous actions, including the practice of the vital animal-free lifestyle.Please tune in to Supreme Master Television’s Words of Wisdom for the full rebroadcast of this live event at a later date, with multi-language subtitles.
Oceans in danger of being emptied of life. In a May 10 article in the British “Times” newspaper, Professor Callum Roberts at the University of York in the UK wrote of how the seas have drastically changed, perhaps irreversibly, due to human activities such as fishing and hunting. With documented whale hunting extending back as far as the 12th or 13th centuries, the Atlantic grey whale had been driven to extinction by the 1600s. Today, northern right whale populations number only in the hundreds as this majestic species faces the same fate. Moreover, loss of marine mammal populations negatively impacts those of other species as well.
Professor Roberts we are thankful for your observations alerting us to these sad losses and the ocean’s currently fragile ecosystems. Let us swiftly act in better stewardship to preserve these gentle marine animals and all fellow co-inhabitants of the seas.
At the March 2009 climate change conference in Xalapa City, Mexico, joined by Mexican dignitaries and the public, honored guest Supreme Master Ching Hai spoke via videoconference about the preciousness of ocean life and what could be done to restore it.
Videoconference with Supreme Master Ching Hai
Xalapa, Mexico March 6, 2009
Supreme Master Ching Hai: It’s not only oil but other of our actions as well, such as overfishing and chemical run-off from farms and factories. These all cause harm, because they do not consider the impact of our actions on other beings.
Every being on Earth and in the sea has value, no matter how small they might look, and something unique to do on this planet. It is our ignoring of this balance and the preciousness of all lives that has contributed to our global danger right now.
The way to solve this problem is through greater consideration for all lives. This means we should respect all lives, and in action. If everyone is vegetarian, better still vegan, I mean having an animal-free diet, then there is a different outlook, different conception for development of all kinds. In our case, it will proceed with compassion and care, which is what we need to restore the wonders of our marine life.
Cambodia stops sand exports to protect environment. Prime Minister Hun Sen has signed into law the banning of sand exports, which in the past has amounted to 40,000–50,000 tons of sand a month, a business that often collapsed homes and riverbanks along the Mekong and Tonie Bassac Rivers. Sand dredging will now be limited to areas within the country where water flow is blocked or where nature can be fully restored.
Our respectful green salute, Your Excellency and Cambodia for these responsible actions that help protect your citizens and the landscapes of your beautiful country.
