Building a Peaceful Planet for All Beings - Youth Climate Movement Torchbearers Climate NOW & the Sunrise Movement, Part 4 of 4

Dear viewers, we are at a critical crossroads in our history. Let us all join hands to build a prosperous and sustainable future for all beings. “I dream that our beautiful planet will not be destroyed. It took billions, billions, trillions of years to produce this planet and it’s so beautiful, so wonderful. I dream that it will continue, but in peace, beauty and love.” According to the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA, the signs of climate change are now prevalent across the globe. Glaciers have shrunk, the sea level has risen, and heat waves have intensified. Scientists have been warning us about the effects of global warming for decades. Thus, simply by switching to a plant-based diet that our bodies are naturally designed for, we can turn the tide against climate change and the pandemic, as well as prevent any future outbreaks. Supreme Master Ching Hai is fully aware that the consumption of animal products is deeply ingrained in many cultures. Moreover, meat and dairy have been discovered to contain natural substances, which can have an addictive effect on the body, making it difficult for some people to transition away from consuming them. To overcome these obstacles, She suggests all hands on deck. This means individual resolve, community support, media help, and government legislation. “It has to start from the government and the media, because they are the most powerful tools to spread information to the people at large.” We have to face the truth that the ONLY way for humans to continue living on Earth is to make peace with our co-inhabitants. So, will the world adopt strong measures like the vegan law in time to save humankind and other inhabitants on Earth? A lot may ride on our youth, who are bravely stepping up to the plate to demand of our leaders the kind of urgent action our planet so desperately needs. We are profoundly grateful to Supreme Master Ching Hai for Her wisdom and divinely-inspired guidance. We are also deeply appreciative of the San Francisco Vegetarian Society for its tireless efforts for the vegan cause and for granting us access to the discussion panel footage. We sincerely thank Sarah, Remus, Kate, and all the climate activists of the world who sacrifice their time, schoolwork, and earnings to work for a better tomorrow for all Earthlings. May Heavens bless and protect you and your loved ones forever.
