Today's Vegetarian

“By eating meat we share the responsibility of climate change, the destruction of our forests, and the poisoning of our air and water. The simple act of becoming a vegetarian will make a difference in the health of our planet.” 
― Thích Nhất Hạnh, The World We Have: A Buddhist Approach to Peace and Ecology

“Being vegetarian here also means that we do not consume dairy and egg products, because they are products of the meat industry. If we stop consuming, they will stop producing. Only collective awakening can create enough determination for action.” 
― Thích Nhất Hạnh, The Fruitful Darkness: A Journey Through Buddhist Practice and Tribal Wisdom
