Halo!
G’day Mate!
Halo!
Beloved viewers!
Welcome to
the second part
in a special
three-part program:
“Memorable Moments:
Supreme Master
Television
in the 4th Year,”
on the occasion of our
channel’s Anniversary.
Yesterday,
we presented highlights
from our past year’s
programming
that honored beautiful
cultural traditions, peace,
and benevolent actions.
Since inception,
Supreme Master
Television
has put great emphasis
on raising awareness
about the urgent state
of our planet’s health,
in particular
climate change…
…as well as the simple
but fundamental solution
to this crisis
that is supported by
numerous scientists,
environmentalists,
spiritual leaders,
community advocates
and government officials.
That is to live
harmoniously
and compassionately
with nature and our
animal co-inhabitants.
And adopt the loving
organic vegan lifestyle.
Today we feature experts
from various disciplines
who have shared their
thoughts on our programs
regarding the importance
of taking action now
to save our planet
as we are living
in a very critical period
in history.
There is
no single country immune
to climate change.
From Antarctica
to the Arctic,
all countries
are threatened by the
effects of climate change.
I think what is different
is that what we are feeling
at this moment is
this temperature rise.
It is happening very fast
and since it is very fast,
nature has no time
to adapt to it.
In the end, it is our duty
as the global community
to save our own civilization
and the only planet
that we call home.
If we don’t solve
the problem
with global warming
and the emissions,
we won’t have a planet
to live on.
So it is a matter of survival.
In the paper “Livestock
and Climate Change,”
published in
World Watch Magazine
in 2009, the authors,
who are World Bank
environmental advisers,
estimated that
greater than 51%
of human-caused global
greenhouse gas emissions
are from a cycle of
producing and consuming
animal products.
These experts thus
concluded that
a world-wide shift
to a plant-based diet
is necessary to halt
the warming of our planet.
Well, I mean,
that’s really quite
a significant observation.
And basically
it means that we need to
reduce livestock in general,
and so eat less meat.
This is now a
well-known fact -
livestock production
and the consumption
of livestock products
is extremely intensive
in the emission
of greenhouse gases,
and in fact, in the use
of all natural resources.
Changing
your light bulb and
many of the things are
much less effective than
changing your diet
because if you eat further
down on the food chain
rather than animals,
which have produced
many greenhouse gases,
and used much energy
in the process of
growing that meat,
you can actually make
a bigger contribution
in that way
than just about anything.
When you eat
one calorie of beef,
you need five or perhaps
10 calories of vegetables
to feed the cattle first.
So if you would directly
eat vegetables you would
save in food production.
The government should
also take the lead and
encourage our people
to eat in a healthier way.
Eating in a healthier way
means using less oil,
eating less meat, etc., and
to eat more vegetables,
fruit and grains, etc.
Let’s be vegetarians,
protect the environment
and save the planet.
Besides being
the precious home
for countless sea life,
the oceans are Earth’s
largest carbon sinks.
Upsetting
the natural balance of
the marine environment
produces far-reaching
impacts on the livability
of our world.
Many scientists and
environmental experts
have issued
strong warnings that
the continued consumption
of marine animals and
polluting of the oceans
will ultimately
destabilize and destroy
the life-giving seas.
We will lose species
from the sea.
We will lose or greatly
degrade the ecosystems
within the sea.
So there are
some very serious
and severe penalties
that we will face
if we don’t do something
about the crisis today.
We have to abolish
commercial fishing;
it’s taking too much
out of the oceans without
returning anything.
The dead zones are
increasing in number and
they’re increasing in size.
With all the fertilizers and
run-offs and pesticides,
it’s killing the oceans.
We have an impact
from global warming
that is causing the coral
bleaching of reefs.
We have the pollution
of rivers, lakes
and seas made
by people themselves and
also by the quantity of
industries we have today,
which makes it difficult
for oceans to be able to
fulfill their natural role
as regulators of
the planet’s climate.
We are undoubtedly
at a crucial point
and humanity’s survival
is at stake.
Every action
of every person
on our planet contributes
to the direction we will go.
So for the future of
ourselves, our children,
and millions of species
on Earth, we ask that
everyone please stop eating
animal products…..
…and enjoy
healthy and delicious
plant-based foods instead!
It’s good for the animals,
good for all of us,
and good for our world.
All of Heaven’s creation
rejoices together
with this peaceful path.
We’ll return
after this brief message.
Please stay tuned
to Supreme Master
Television.
Hi, we’re
“Truth on Earth.”

Supreme Master
Television,
this is Harvey Guillen
and I’m wishing you
a Happy 4th Birthday.
Halo,
I am Dr. Fred Alan Wolf.
And I want to extend my
hearty congratulations
and good wishes
to Supreme Master
Television
on four years of
successful presentations
of questions which
interest human beings.
Welcome back to
“Memorable Moments:
Supreme Master
Television
in the 4th Year,”
featuring excerpts from
our past year’s shows
concerning the state
of our planet.
This is our one
and only home.
It is precious and needs
everyone’s protection.
Future generations are counting upon us!
Yes, truly
our world is fragile
and needs gentler care,
a point that
Supreme Master Ching Hai
has emphasized time and
again, as in the following
January 2009
videoconference
in California, USA.
Climate change is
impacting the everyday life
and survival of our species
and all other beings.
We have no time to lose.
The time to act is now!
Don’t forget that we have
a very beautiful home
here for us
and for our children.
And for grandchildren,
great-great grandchildren,
it’s a beautiful place,
physically speaking,
and it has all conditions
to sustain life.
And it offers us so much,
so much.
So much fun,
so much beauty,
so much love.
We have
exquisite flowers.
We have exotic birds.
We have
incredible animals.
We have amazing trees,
mountains, and great
bodies of water which
sustain so much life and
energies and nourishing
all beings, and
it’s such a beautiful place.
If we just walk out
everywhere and
look at the trees, imagine
one day they’re all gone!
And smell the flowers
quick before,
maybe they be gone soon.
Touch the grass
because maybe they will
be also gone soon.
Imagine if all
this beautiful scenery,
vegetations, humans,
animals, imagine
if they are all gone.
How would you feel?
So we have to protect
this beautiful place
we call Earth, because
this is the home of
not just us,
but many other species;
and the environment,
beautiful flora and fauna.
It’s really
an incredible place.
Over the past five years,
we’ve actually given
over a million children
the chance to plant trees.
We have an aspiration
actually of seeing
twice as much native
woodlands in the UK
than we have now.
What you will see has
all been done naturally.
There are no chemicals;
the ink is natural,
the pigments of the ink
are natural.
There are no heavy
metals in that pigment.
Our varnishes
are all natural.
We do not have
petroleum products.
If I can live
underwater in this
container that was made
from scrap material
for two weeks, then
we can all do something
a bit better on the surface,
to live in a more
sustainable way.
We could also live in
buildings
which absorb pollution
generated by the world
of today so that
it is an architecture with
zero carbon emissions,
which creates more energy
than what it consumes.
The absolute best thing
you can do is, to quote
(Mahatma) Gandhi,
“Be the change
you want to see.”
Take those actions,
inspire somebody else.
If somebody else sees you
doing some composting
or some recycling,
they’ll go,
“What are you doing?
Why are you doing that?”
Well, that’s
an opportunity to talk.
Youth across the globe
are speaking up about
humanity’s collective future.
They deeply desire to see
fundamental changes
made right now
in how we treat our Earth
so that they will have
a splendid, clean,
sustainable
and green place to live
during their lifetimes
as will those
who come after them.
We are going to be
the generation that is
living on this planet.
So we need to save
the planet now because
this is our home
and this is the only place
we have to live.
Please
put your contribution
towards our environment,
because it’s very
necessary at this time
for our climate.
So now it is the time to act.
It’s about time
we come together.
It’s about time we realize
that we all depend on
each other to survive.
For the survival of
our planet, we truly need
to stop all the killing and
environmental destruction.
Supreme Master
Ching Hai
has personally penned
and recited
her heartfelt verses
to plead with humanity
to “Please Wake Up!”
O world,
wake up and behold
Rivers and mountains are
in tumult
Burnt forests, eroded hills,
desiccated streams
Whither do the poor souls
go in the end?
O world,
wake up and behold
Rivers and mountains are
in tumult
Burnt forests, eroded hills,
desiccated streams
Whither do the poor souls
go in the end?
O great Earth,
lessened be your agony
For these tears to wane
with the persistent night.
O seas and lakes,
cease not your melodies
Allowing hope for a morrow
among humanity...
Let’s unite
to save our world!
It is truly within our reach
if we try!
We can and we will do it! We can and we will do it!
With Heaven’s blessings,
we will move into
a shining new era where
love and harmony prevail
and our Mother Earth
is healed.
