The global warming issue is so serious nowadays, disasters happen everywhere. As a resident on this planet what should we do? I feel sad when I see people suffer, what more can I do to help better this situation?

Question - Gurudev, the global warming issue is so serious nowadays, disasters happen everywhere. As a resident on this planet what should we do? I feel sad when I see people suffer, what more can I do to help better this situation?

Gurudev @SriSriRaviShankar ji - We have to create awareness. Join the ‘Art of Living’ band wagon as we are everyday going and planting more trees, creating awareness about not using/minimising the usage of plastics, creating awareness in people about this. To check global warming, more and more people need to turn vegetarian.

Environment is a really serious issue. You should all plant trees, use less refrigeration, and turn to vegetarianism. Scientists feel that if the whole world stops butchering, the entire green house effect issue will be resolved. One slaughter is equivalent to the cutting of five hundred trees for it releases that much methane. The amount of feed used for one animal can be used to feed four hundred people. Go vegetarian, stay healthy and save the planet. It is as simple as that.

So more and more people should turn vegetarians, and that will bring change in the environment.
