China’s Policy Advisor Recommends Less Meat
Some good green news from China: Dr. Huang Yunbao, the nation’s policy advisor, is recommending less meat. It’s pretty great that people higher up in the government are taking acknowledging that climate change exists. What is even better is that they’re doing their jobs to protect the lives of their citizens.
As a member of China Democratic League and associate professor in mathematics from the School of Science at the Hangzhou Normal University, Dr. Huang Yunbao spoke at the city of Hangzhou’s Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference where he linked meat consumption with climate change. He advised the government to launch a campaign to encourage citizens to reduce meat consumption as part of the city’s Energy Conservation and Emissions Mitigation Plan. Walking the talk, the good doctor is a vegan. He was quoted as saying: “From the scientific point of view, we should be vegetarians. From the health point of view, we should be vegetarians. From the economic point of view, we should be vegetarians. From the spirit of the slogan ‘Save the Planet,’ we must be vegetarians.”
Well said, Doctor.
