Speaking of the United Kingdom’s already established 
emission goals during a February 3 conference, Soil Association Policy 
Director Lord Peter Melchett said that these will be met only if 
consumers reduce their intake of pork and poultry alone by at least 75%.
 
Lord Melchett stated, “It's ludicrous … not to talk about 
consumption when we're talking about environmental sustainability.” 
Meanwhile, he also highlighted the benefits of organic farming, saying 
that a recently conducted study found that if all the farmland in the 
nation went organic, the soil could absorb 3.2 million tons of carbon, 
or the equivalent of removing nearly 1 million cars from the road. 
Our
 appreciation, Lord Melchett and Soil Association, for your 
encouragement of the transition to meat-free, organic living. May we 
soon herald a vegan world for the vibrant stability of our precious 
Earth.
Supreme Master Ching Hai has frequently advocated organic 
vegan farming and adoption of the same planet-cooling diet, as 
highlighted in an October 2009 climate change conference in Formosa 
(Taiwan).
Supreme
 Master Ching Hai: Without the needless animal industry, not only
 will we gain forests, we can also have organic vegan farmlands to grow 
real, decent food for humans, and like the forests, these farmlands can 
also absorb a lot of heat from the atmosphere. 
And a global 
shift to organic vegan practices could mean 40% of all greenhouse gases 
absorbed as well, apart from the 50 plus percent that we eliminate 
through the terminating of the animals raising practice.
World 
governments could save tens of trillions of US dollars, tens of 
trillions of US dollars if everyone be veg and plant organic. So you 
see, 50% less from no more animal industry, 40% less carbon dioxide from
 organic farming, then we will be singing, our world will be saved.
