Increasingly since the 1970s, the Brittany region in the northwest of France has experienced the phenomenon of “green tides” in which huge quantities of Chlorophytas algae remain suspended in the water.
The algae has not only caused beaches to close and affected tourism, it also emits the toxic and lethal hydrogen sulfide as it dries.

Experts say the algae has appeared in Brittany’s waters due to global warming, which creates conditions for new species to flourish, as well as animal agriculture, which pollutes the waters with phosphorus and nitrogen, causing the algae into further bloom.

Mr. Jean-François Piquot, spokesman for the Water and Rivers of Brittany Association, is recommending the avoidance of these concentrated animal operations.

Thank you scientists, Mr. Piquot and Water and Rivers of Brittany Association, for your insights and suggestions.

Let us all do our part by making organic vegan choices at every meal to return Brittany to her long-admired beauty and our ecosphere to balance and harmony.

Always working to better the quality of life on Earth, Supreme Master Ching Hai again emphasized the need to adopt a plant-based lifestyle during a July 2008 videoconference with Supreme Master Television staff.

Supreme Master Ching Hai: If people are well-informed on time, they can take measures against calamity by heeding wise counsel and react according to correct advice.

Things can always change overnight if people turn and walk in the right direction. We know meat eating, scientifically, physically speaking is the major cause of our planet’s destructive direction.

Then we must turn around and walk in the opposite direction. The opposite of meat diet is a vegetarian, compassionate diet. All the animal products, all the killing of men or animals must be stopped if we want to stop the climate change. Stop killing and global warming will stop, immediately, because we turn in the other direction.
