Thank you for taking part in Tzu Chi’s inaugural Ethical Eating Day.
We are moved by your support, and overjoyed to see that thousands of people joined our movement. More than 39,000 individuals — from 118 countries and more than 2347 cities — pledged to be vegetarian on January 11th, helping raise awareness about the impact of meat production on the environment.
Together, with one resolution, let’s walk forward towards a better future. Climate change impacts us all, and through the disaster relief work we do at Tzu Chi, we witness it’s effects around the world daily. Whether it is through the emission of greenhouse gases like methane and nitrous oxide, or the reduction of climate-friendly spaces like forests, mankind’s rampant consumption of animals has dealt a significant blow to the environment. It’s time for us to take action as individuals and as a collective.
