COP 17: awareness on organic vegan diet solution to climate change
-
As the COP 17 negotiations come to a close here in Durban, members of
the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association have continued to
raise awareness about the effective organic vegan diet solution to
climate change.
Many of the summit participants have received
SOS bags containing literature and DVDs to help inform their decision
making. Over 700 bags were distributed in cooperation with 11 hotels,
all of whom agreed to help deliver the bags to their guests attending
the conference.
Also in Durban this past week, the Global Forum
on Oceans, Coasts and Islands held an event to raise awareness on the
urgent need to address the state of the world’s oceans as part of the
climate equation.
Supreme Master Ching Hai : You
can see that the dead fish are covering the whole entire surface of
water. You don’t see water. You only see dead fish floating on top. It’s
a horrible sight to witness. As I have said before, if the world’s
people all become vegans, nature will rebound almost before our eyes,
almost overnight, and we may see the oceans healthy again.
Moreover, around the world, countless enormous ocean dead zones will have a chance to return to life.
Also,
when we stop vacuuming all the poor fish out of the sea, they will have
a chance to restore the balance in the oceans. We desperately need the
fish in the sea to balance the ocean; otherwise our lives will be in
danger. God puts them there for a reason. When the ocean is healthy
again, even the dead coral reefs will revive themselves.
Imagine!
Nature is miraculous and incredible. But in order to witness nature’s
recovery, we must not let our current way of life continue.
