Island nations plead for stronger emission goals. At the UN climate conference in Poznan, Poland, where representatives from 187 nations are currently meeting to create a new agreement to replace the soon expiring Kyoto Protocol, 43 small island nations have collectively asked for greater emission reduction benchmarks to save their lands from rising sea levels.
 
As these nations are already experiencing the devastating effects of global warming, they highlighted the need for strong measures to prevent their countries and other low-lying coastal areas such as Bangladesh from being submerged up by the oceans. We appreciate your efforts, island nations, to raise awareness about the dire conditions faced by your residents. Let us all reverse climate change by such simple steps as adopting the healthful and compassionate plant-based diet.
