Book excerpt: At conferences, in interviews with journalists and at gatherings withdisciples in recent years, Supreme Master Ching Hai has spoken with increasingurgency about Earth's current climate crisis. As she states, "Our planet is ahouse that is burning. If we don't work together with a united spirit to put outthe fire, we will not have a home anymore". But she also offers humankind anuplifting solution, one that every individual can easily achieve: "Be veg to savethe planet."As the crisis escalates, natural disasters are claiming tens of thousands oflives and displacing millions from their homes, with financial losses amountingto billions of dollars. Rising sea levels have already submerged 18 island nationsand are threatening many others. In addition, irregular rainfall patterns andintensifying droughts are affecting many regions, thus worsening food andwater shortages. And climate experts warn of even more extreme weatherconditions to come, with the possibility of "runaway global warming."In this book Supreme Master Ching Hai presents the major factorsassociated with global warming, and more importantly, its root cause: thelivestock industry.In fact, many scientific studies support Supreme Master Ching Hai's view,which she has expounded for over twenty years. The raising of animals forfood not only wastes massive amounts of precious water, land and energy, butalso contributes to a staggering 51% of the planet's greenhouse gas emissions.Livestock farming is also the greatest single source of atmospheric methane, amuch more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2, but one with a shorter lifespan.
