Climate Impact

The UN Secretary-General said the climate is “a code red for humanity.
The alarm bells are deafening, and the evidence is irrefutable”

UN says climate change is at tipping point, code red!

  • UN IPCC experts says there is urgent climate, earth and ocean emergency
  • The UN Climate Change says global temperature rise of 1.5C is danger level
  • The current level is already near 1.3C.
  • Co2 is rising 100x than what happens naturally
  • US NOAA reported the Arctic changed from Carbon sink to carbon source
  • Marine heatwaves reduced coral reefs of the Great Barrier Reef (Jewel of the ocean) by 50% in last five years
  • The estimate is within five years the temperature may breach the 1.5C mark
  • Amazon rainforest (Jewel of the land) 90% of deforestation due to animal farming and feed production. Fires are much higher now taking on the forest
  • The UN Secretary-General said the climate is “a code red for humanity. The alarm bells are deafening, and the evidence is irrefutable”

Benefits of Moving to Plant based diet

  • Plant based have less than ½ of carbon footprint as compared to animal diet.
  • NIH article shows obesity, diabetes, & cardiovascular disease can be reduced with plant based diet; blood tests show better epithelial function.
  • It can reduce risk from many different types of cancers.
  • There are many reasons to be vegan; Plant based has 64x antioxidants to improve immunity, reduce heart disease by 25+% by American Heart Association.
  • A healthy vegan diet is high in unsaturated fats, fiber, antioxidants, minerals, and polyphenols, this controls glucose levels and limits diabetes; it lowers cholesterol, lowers blood pressure, more oxygen flow, more nutrients, this diet can lose weight and can reverse heart and other diseases.
