Kurangkan Pemakanan Daging

Dlm Seminar Pemanasan Global Antarabangsa di Seoul, Korea Selatan yg terbaru, Mahaguru Ching Hai, seorang humanis, artis dan guru rohaniah yg terkenal di dunia menyatakan bhw punca pemanasan global ialah sifat tidak bertimbang rasa kita terhadap rakan sepenghuni kita - haiwan, dan juga terhadap alam sekitar; kita mesti hentikan semua pembunuhan dan penderitaan terhadap manusia dan haiwan, sebab "Bila kita membunuh, kita hanya akan dibunuh." Beliau mengesahkan lagi bhw menggunakan produk bebas-haiwan ialah cara tercepat utk hentikan 80% pemanasan global.

In a recent International Seminar on Global Warming in Seoul, South Korea, the Supreme Master Ching Hai, a world-renowned humanitarian, artist and spiritual teacher points out that the root cause of global warming is our unkindness to our co-inhabitants – the animals, and our unkindness to our environment; we must stop all killing and harming to humans and animals alike, because “When we kill, we only get killed.” She further affirms that using animal-free products is the fastest way to stop 80% of global warming.

Ahli Senat Queensland, Australia, Andrew Bartlett menyatakan: "Tiada perkara yg lebih mudah, murah dan cepat yg kita boleh lakukan utk mengurangkan dgn banyak dan berkesan pengeluaran gas rumah hijau kita sendiri drpd mengurangkan jumlah daging dan bahan tenusu yg kita ambil."

Senator Andrew Bartlett of Queensland, Australia states: "There is no easier, cheaper and more immediate thing we can do to significantly reduce our personal contribution to greenhouse emissions than to cut the amount of meat and dairy products that we consume.”

Menurut satu kajian terbaru Institut bagi Kajian Alam Sekitar Amsterdam, Netherlands, jika semua penduduk British tidak memakan daging sehari seminggu utk setahun, itu akan mengurangkan 13 bilion kilo pengeluaran CO2 - suatu pengeluaran karbon yg lebih banyak drpd mengeluarkan 5 juta kereta drpd jalan raya di UK (10.4 bilion kilo CO2 setahun); dan ini hampir bersamaan menggantikan satu bilion mentol cahaya yang jimat tenaga.

According to a recent study of the Institute for Environmental Studies of Amsterdam, Netherlands, if all British people abstain from eating meat 1 day per week for a year, that would save 13 billion kilos of CO2 emission – a greater carbon saving than taking 5 million cars off the road in the UK (10.4 billion kilos of CO2 per year); and this would be almost equivalent to replacing one billion light bulbs with low energy ones.
