For you.
The least we could do.
..we dedicated our 75 minutes of Ashtanga Led practice 8.30 to 9.45pm last night, for you.
The least we could do to fix the cruelty we had done to you.
The MOST I could do was,
to make them promise me that WE WILL ALL TRY TO
- switch off our lights whenever we can still see
- walk instead of driving to places we can
- cut down if not eliminate meat-eating to survive and to continue our lives when we can eat more green
- take care of our earth as much as we take care of our body
immediately after our Candlelight Yoga earlier.
An hour a year is NOT enough to extend our lives living in this planet.
While I am at it, do you know that:
- Energy consumed for A PIECE of meat, lamb or pork to arrive to your plate is enough to lit 100 watt lightbulb for three weeks?
- A kilogram of meat contributes 36.4 kilogram of CO2 and emission of C02 from A COW for a year is equal to energy consumed to move your car for 70,000 km?
- Livestock farming generates more greenhouse gas emission worldwide than all cars, lorries, trains, boats and planes added together?
- If you don't eat meat JUST FOR A SINGLE MEAL in a day, you save 7.6 times more and faster than your house's energy consumption in one year?
(facts from documentary film 'Meat The Truth')
Even if you can't / don't see the importance of doing it for your health,
do it for the environment. Please.
Special thanks to Anna-Rina for the pictures and
heartiest gratitude to all of you who have chosen to 'switch off' and to 'be-down-to-earth'
with BE during Earth Hour 2009.
Can't wait to see more of you for Karma Yoga in less than six hours.
Proceeds from any purchase of earth-coloured Yogitoes and donation tomorrow
will be forwarded to Malaysian Nature Society (MNS).
