Denpasar, 16/6 (Atnews) - The entrepreneur of Loving Hearth, Pater Ananta, invited the public to choose to live vegan and vegetarian lifestyle. “These efforts are to protect the future, our children and our own time,” said Pater in Denpasar on Sunday (Jun. 16).
This was conveyed when he was a guest speaker at the Vegan and Vegetarian Seminar for Spiritual, Health and Earth Rescue. On that occasion, he was accompanied by two resource persons, namely Dr. I Made Suasti and pediatrician I Nyoman Arie Purwana.
Choosing a plant-based diet can reduce the carbon footprint in large quantities, in addition to avoiding the risk of disease from the effects of consuming meat. “Refusing meat is an effective way to reduce the carbon footprint,” he said.
For this reason, being vegan is something that everyone does to save the planet. Even in the world’s cancer research, it is suggested to consume foods mostly coming from plants,” he said.
Meanwhile, the world’s major and leading figures living vegetarian and vegan lifestyle are Pythagoras (Greek mathematician/philosopher), Leonardo Da Vinci (Italian painter), Albert Einstein (German Scientist), Thomas Edison (Inventor from the United States), Hendry Ford (Founder of the Ford Motors Company, the US), Mahatma Gandhi (Leader of Indian civil rights), Martin Luther King (Leader of US civil rights), Michael Jackson (US Pop Star) and The Beatles (British music group).
