The next question is from Mr. Koffi Jean Kissi. He’s the National Secretary and Spokesperson of CAR, which is a political party.
Mr. Koffi Jean Kissi: Good afternoon, Master, (Good afternoon.) and God bless You for all You’re doing for humanity. My question is about the politicians. Regarding Your efforts to fight global warming, You know that we need a stronger involvement from politicians. Their involvement is necessary. However, we noticed that it is not their primary concern. My question is, what can we do? Or in Your opinion, what can we do so that politicians get more involved in matters concerning global warming, environmental issues, and in the fight against global warming? Should we send them all to a university of environmental sciences?
Master: Hallo, Mr. Secretary. You are correct. It is best if government leaders can be part of the solution. They can assist in helping people to understand why it is so important to make the change to the vegan diet. To approach the political leaders, you can first get together with others who are like-minded. Then you let the leaders know that you and others like yourself are very interested in this subject. Tell them you want to save the planet, that’s it. Write to your government leaders about the vegan solution. Go and visit with them, if that is possible. For supporting materials, you can ask our Association members to provide you with the information you may need. From what we are reading in the news, it seems that more African leaders are now becoming interested in halting climate change and are realizing the need to act on global warming.
Sadly, global warming is affecting African countries in all the severest and some of the most visible ways. The world’s second-largest freshwater lake, Lake Victoria in Eastern Africa, is now being jeopardized due to over-fishing, pollutants and climate change – which are interrelated anyway.
Rivers and lakes are drying up in Africa. Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro’s glaciers and ice are almost all gone, and coral reefs are dying, bleaching. There are water crises from Sierra Leone to South Africa. Zimbabwe, Somalia, Mauritius, Mozambique, and Sudan, just to name a few, are experiencing worsened droughts that make it difficult to plant crops, thus adding to food shortages and rising prices. Add to this desertification and deforestation that further degrade the land.
Increased temperatures mean erratic rainfall – either too little or too much at a time. So, we have ravaging floods that drown the crops and fires that burn the forest. Likewise, in West Africa, home to 43% of the total population of sub-Saharan Africa, if you’re a farmer, you already can feel that the climate is in trouble. There are more frequent droughts, heat waves, floods, storms, frost freezes, and locusts than before. These impacts of climate change increase food insecurity and the food crisis in Africa.
There is also increased risk of diseases such as malaria because the mosquitoes are spreading to higher altitudes. The United Nations is afraid that hundreds of millions of people in Africa are at risk. This is just a handful of all the news reports coming out about global warming in your land. I’m sure there are more. For leaders – they are aware of these grave problems facing their countries. Now, if the citizens also support them, remind them that they are concerned and that this is for their best interest, then they will be even more energized to address climate change. Then they will remember that global warming is the most important agenda, that it’s their duty – not only professionally, but also personally – because it affects themselves and their children as well. So let us try our best to help remind and encourage our leaders to do something. Thank you, and Heaven bless the majestic land of Africa and preserve it. (Thank You, Master. Thank You, Master, for Your answer.)
The next question is from Mr. Kossi Toussaint Adigbo. He’s a lawyer at the Court of Appeals of Lomé.
Mr. Kossi Toussaint Adigbo: I thank you, I also thank the Supreme Master. Supreme Master, based on Your teachings, I think that the solution to global warming is to adopt a vegan diet. I would like to know, Supreme Master, what effects this can have, or how the system can be renewed by adopting a vegan diet? Thank You.
Master: Thank you and hallo, Mr. Adigbo. Thank you for this very relevant question. I am eager, as you are, and can’t wait to see the day when we all become vegan – that is, before it is too late.
When we live our lives with a vegan diet, we send out a powerful statement that we want life, and so we will beget life and protection to continue with our life. If we become vegan as individuals, we can remedy the disasters that otherwise might affect us personally. If the world becomes vegan as a group, we can remedy the disasters that affect us globally. They will avert us, or be minimized and rendered harmless. The planet will begin repairing itself in astonishing ways that scientists would be surprised.
For example, the ice would stop melting and return to the way it was. Green life will appear again. The oceans will be healed as the rainfall and temperature begin to regulate themselves again, producing restored balance. You see, we have the energy to change everything. We have the power to dictate what happens around us. But we must use it. We must use it for the sake of all. We must use it for the benefit of every being on this planet. Our thinking, our actions, have to send out a message to the universal energy that we want a better planet, we want a safer life, we want a saved world. Then the universal energy will do just that.
But we have to act in resonance with this energy, you see? If we want good things then we have to do good. If we want life, we have to spare lives. So the good energy we create can do these things and more wonders. The compassionate, loving atmosphere that we, as the whole world, generate can and will do more miracles for us. I know it sounds incredible, but it is possible. It is a fact. We create everything that we want – if we live in accordance with the Laws of the Universe.
Such is the power of just being vegan because that means we spare life, we want life, we want constructive energy – we don’t want destruction. So vegan is the answer. This is something all Africans and all citizens of the world can do. Be vegan. Be a world-saver. Thank you very much for your question of what this world can be. The world can be what we make it to be. And we will make it a vegan world, a compassionate world, a peaceful world and a saved world. Thank you, sir, for your question. Thank you. (Thank You for Your wonderful answer.)
Interviews1:
(Good evening, Madam.) Good evening, and good evening to the [Supreme Master] Television. (Can you please introduce yourself?) My name is Vanessa Worou. I am a Afro-classical singer from Togo.
(What do you think of this conference about global warming?) I think these are good causes to fight for. For once, it’s natural and it’s about the environment. We’re all interested. And so, I think that everyone has to get involved.
(After this conference, are you personally motivated to become a vegan and influence those around you to be vegan?) I think one step has already been taken. I’ve already eaten some vegan food, and I’m enjoying it. I think that, honestly, it’s really very interesting. There are green beans, rice, no meat, but meats that are made from soybean I was told. I think it’s really interesting. I think I’m really going to think about it – reflect on the way I eat, on my diet. I think I’m going to re-evaluate myself and see what I can do. (Thank you very much.) You’re welcome, thank you.
So, I’m going to say a big hallo to my Great Master. I hadn’t finished singing. She told me, “It was really beautiful, lovely.” I would really like to sing a little song for Her, but I don’t understand Chinese. But I believe I’ll manage. Thank you. Thank you. (Thank you.)
Interviews2:
Good morning. (What’s your name?) My name is Malick Ayeva. I’m in charge of promoting Togo Cellulaire. (How did you find the conference?) Very interesting. Especially very instructive.
(What do you think of the solution provided by the conference, in particular the vegan diet to save the planet? That is to say, to fight against global warming?) I think the analyses are clear and relevant. They are scientific. They are realistic, and relevant. I think we’re going to have to take this into account. What interests me most is the role of politicians. You see, in these kind of movement, in this kind of communication, as long as the politicians don’t get involved, it never works. We always need our leaders behind us to push, to help raise awareness. So, I really think that politicians need to be made seriously aware of the issue. That’s all.
(And after this conference, can you decide to become a vegan and influence those around you to be vegan?) I think we’ll go step by step. Today, we too have been made aware of the issue. We’re going to take it step by step, gradually. And then, as we go along, we will make those around us aware of it, without any problem. (Thank you.) Thank you.
