First, over the past 100 years, the Earth’s population has grown rapidly. In addition, as technological advancements and wealth increase, the demand for fresh water has risen much faster than the growth in population. According to the Unit

et. If we STOP consuming ANIMAL-people products, much of this lethal source is eliminated and the heat it creates will also disappear. In fact, along with STOPping meat consumption we all need to pray for forgiveness. This, too, is part of the Earth’s recovery, the awareness of the suffering caused by humanity and the true desire to reverse this action and to do good instead.”

Tropical cyclones are getting stronger. And most land areas are seeing more rain or snowfall in a year. Severe droughts are happening 1.7 times as often. And fire seasons are getting longer and more inten

But deforestation is outpacing reforestation. Sadly, we're clearing one acre per second of Amazon rainforest to make room for our ANIMAL agriculture.” “This is how much land is being used to raise livestock: 45% of the

"I think for him (Mike), once he made the decision that he didn’t want to slaughter the ANIMALs anymore, it was just, 'That’s it.' He couldn’t do it anymore. We knew we were going to face some backlash, and we knew it was going to be difficult. But you j

st way to STOP climate change is through global adoption of the organic vegan diet. “Scientists have expressed concern, for example, that if the ocean waters continue to warm, certain fish whose gender is determined by temperature might end up extinct because only one gender will be produced. Problems like this show the interconnectedness of life and the environment. To think that a small temperat

She recalls sobbing to her mother, saying, “I just want to live long enough to see the healing of the Earth.” “It wasn’t something that was a constant. It was something that I would pick up now and then. And it would come in waves.”Deb discusses some of th

But how would they manage financially? "So Mike still runs his vegetable garden and that’s how he makes his money. He makes his living off of the farm, at the farmer’s market. And then we fundraise separately in order to help f

The mission of the sanctuary is “to provide a safe home for the ANIMALs in [their] care, as well as to show others that farm ANIMALs deserve love and compassion.” When Edith and Mike first transitioned from beef farming to running a sanctuary, they wondered about the best way to accomplish the change. "So when we first became a sanctuary, for me, it was all about how many an

She says that a global shift to a vegan lifestyle is essential if we want to save our planet. “If you really love your children, you would do anything, right? You would even lay down your life, but you don’t even have to lay down your life; you will be even more healthy. You just lay do

So, if we STOP ANIMAL industry, we cut out 51% of the heat. And then, if we use all the tillable land, all the cultivable land, to plant organic vegetables and fruits, then we cut off another 40%, at least, of carbon dioxide that exists. The planet cools off in a few years. I mean, when the ANIMALs all die naturally in a few years and all the organic vegetables come in, a few years’ time, we don’t

We

we should STOP eating ANIMALs. And the other one is, we need to slow down. We need to start looking at ourselves and our habits, because if the earth can heal that quickly just with us STOPping, what can we do if we actually changed our ways entirely?” “I chose to follow a path of caring and kindness and compassion. And that has led me on this path of choosing veganism and choosing to live very si

Only when we walk in peace and love on this Earth will the Earth and nature respond peacefully to us. If we protect others, we will be protected.”

can do to STOP global warming? According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) report, Livestock’s Long Shadow, the raising of livestock is responsible for approximately 18 percent of all greenhouse gas emission, more than all forms of transportation combined. And a more recent report, Livestock and Climate Change, co-authored by Robert Goodland and Jeff Anhang, stated that
