當我們可以不瞭解國際局勢.不想談政治立場.可以不論任何政黨是非. 但你們天天還是要吃食物.消耗到地球的資源. 我們的行為天天都與生態有關. 只要人類活在地球上想要擁有基本的生存條件 就會不斷牽扯到另一個生命的生存權..如同蝴蝶效應般的遙遠都可能因你的飲食而改變！只要你們用微細的心去觀察就會發現.請饒了因口腹之慾的而需犧牲的生命吧.....因為這些血汗工廠製造出來的肉品也將會讓人類走向饑荒.氣候變遷的惡夢!我作得再多的記錄與採訪只是在印證著我所收到訊息.從建設砍樹.經濟發展而毫不留情的破壞生態.毀滅農田.總總荒謬政策不斷的在發生.擋也擋不完.人類的災難已經無法逃避． 再多的事實真象報導．也無法讓刻意裝聾作啞的政府認清事實. 這個世界因人類的貪婪權益.而失去與萬物溝通的能力.不再憐憫被屠殺犧牲的生靈.地球已經展開反撲了.請大家改變飲食吧．讓彼此的傷害減到最低.悲痛的素素記述心情
聯合國公開呼籲全球邁向無肉奶飲食 -- 以拯救饑荒及避免氣候變遷的嚴重衝擊 UN urges global move to meat and dairy-free diet !
（Very Good News!）
A global shift towards a vegan diet is vital to save the world from hunger, fuel poverty and the worst impacts of climate change, a UN report said today.
As the global population surges towards a predicted 9.1 billion people by 2050, western tastes for diets rich in meat and dairy products are unsustainable, says the report from United Nations Environment Programme's (UNEP) international panel of sustainable resource management.
It says: "Impacts from agriculture are expected to increase substantially due to population growth increasing consumption of animal products. Unlike fossil fuels, it is difficult to look for alternatives: people have to eat. A substantial reduction of impacts would only be possible with a substantial worldwide diet change, away from animal products."
Professor Edgar Hertwich, the lead author of the report, said: "Animal products cause more damage than [producing] construction minerals such as sand or cement, plastics or metals. Biomass and crops for animals are as damaging as [burning] fossil fuels."
The recommendation follows advice last year that a vegetarian diet was better for the planet from Lord Nicholas Stern, former adviser to the Labour government on the economics of climate change. Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), has also urged people to observe one meat-free day a week to curb carbon emissions.
The panel of experts ranked products, resources, economic activities and transport according to their environmental impacts. Agriculture was on a par with fossil fuel consumption because both rise rapidly with increased economic growth, they said.
Ernst von Weizsaecker, an environmental scientist who co-chaired the panel, said: "Rising affluence is triggering a shift in diets towards meat and dairy products - livestock now consumes much of the world's crops and by inference a great deal of freshwater, fertilisers and pesticides."
Both energy and agriculture need to be "decoupled" from economic growth because environmental impacts rise roughly 80% with a doubling of income, the report found.
Achim Steiner, the UN under-secretary general and executive director of the UNEP, said: "Decoupling growth from environmental degradation is the number one challenge facing governments in a world of rising numbers of people, rising incomes, rising consumption demands and the persistent challenge of poverty alleviation."
The panel, which drew on numerous studies including the Millennium ecosystem assessment, cites the following pressures on the environment as priorities for governments around the world: climate change, habitat change, wasteful use of nitrogen and phosphorus in fertilisers, over-exploitation of fisheries, forests and other resources, invasive species, unsafe drinking water and sanitation, lead exposure, urban air pollution and occupational exposure to particulate matter.
Agriculture, particularly meat and dairy products, accounts for 70% of global freshwater consumption, 38% of the total land use and 19% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, says the report, which has been launched to coincide with UN World Environment day on Saturday.
