hong kong climate change Noteworthy News 4th Oct 2009

Hong Kong climate change conference unites to save lives.
Held on Saturday, October 3, the gathering featured lectures by prominent scientists and other speakers from China, Hong Kong, and Formosa (Taiwan), as well as representatives of government, media, and non-profit organizations.

VIPs attending included Dr. Enboa Wu, Vice President of the Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute; Rev. Fung Chi Wood of the Hong Kong Anglican Church, and Ms. Judy Chen, Chairman of the Hong Kong Ocean Park Conservation Foundation.

The talks reviewed current evidence of global warming as well as the swine flu pandemic, and proposed solutions. Supreme Master Ching Hai was invited as the honored guest and graciously lent her presence to respond to questions from the audience. Her thoughts deeply reflected the events theme Global Unity: Together in Saving Lives.

Supreme Master Ching Hai: Today more or less there are only 1,２０8 days left to save the planet from global warming, from destruction, by all the worlds population becoming vegan. That is a small change and a small sacrifice that we all could afford to make, and should make, for the sake of ourselves and the future generation. Very small change I think, very affordable change, and very reasonable.

But the count down is there to remind us that we have a very short time, just a little over three years for every single person to be veg to save life on Earth.

Again and again I always mention, its not just about the physical existence on this planet that we want to save, but we want to protect the children, and by doing that we protect our noble Self, our heroic compassionate Self which is our true nature.

VOICE: A highlight of the gathering was a touching ceremony honoring Bobsy, the founder of the veg-promoting Save the Human! campaign, with the Shining World Hero Award from Supreme Master Ching Hai.

The evening closed with a vibrant music concert celebrating the Moon Festival holiday and its spirit of oneness and love.
