SERV> FW: ar-dc: this is pretty cool if true

 

 

The material below was translated from a Taiwanese website by a D.C. area

animal rights activist who is a native speaker of Chinese and who also

speaks flawless English. You will note that the petition has been signed by

over a million people and endorsed by over 500 organizations. I think this

is really encouraging.

I translated some excerpts from the nomeatnoheat.org website:

Meat is one of the main reasons for global warming which is worsening

at a high speed.

 

Animal agriculture and meat consumption habits have already brought

long term harmful effects on earth's environment. The United Nations Food

and

Agriculture Association states that animal agriculture is " one of the

top three most significant contributors to the most serious

environmental problems. " Currently, animal agriculture occupies 30%

of the land on earth. In addition to causing global warming and

environmental crisis, it also causes global food shortage and food

price hikes.

* Eat less meat or no meat - eat more vegetarian food and local food.

* Walk more drive less - replace short distance drives with walking

and biking; encourage public transportation; reduce unnecessary

transportation.

* Treasure resources - reduce unnecessary consumption, avoid (one time

use only) disposable products; and support low carbon emissions policies.

* Spread this important message to friends and families.

At the same time I hope: President Ma and government officials will join us

in our effort to love the earth by eating a vegetarian diet, promote

a vegetarian-friendly environment in government facilities, and join

forces with the rest of the world to reduce global warming.
