瑪麗安蒂瑪（Marianne Thieme）是荷蘭愛護動物黨（Party for Animals）的共同創辦人，此政黨的黨綱為，人類應尊重對待動物。她在荷蘭議會裡，代表愛護動物黨發言，蒂瑪女士清楚指出，如果英國公民吃素，對英國造成的影響。
瑪麗安蒂瑪：「如果英國每個人，
一週七天都吃素，將可減少排放91百萬噸的溫室氣體，這將相當於英國內1250萬戶的溫室氣體排放量，那是
英國一半的戶口。
如果英國人，
一週吃素六天，省下的排碳量，
將多於移除路上所有2千9百萬輛車。
如果全英國人，
一週吃素五天，將減少65百萬噸的二氧化碳排放。這樣減少的排碳量，將
多於全英國用戶所有的總電量。
如果全英國人，
一週四天吃素，將減少排放52百萬噸的二氧化碳，這樣的減碳量，將
多於英國所有車輛，總排碳量的七成。
吃素三天，減少排放溫室氣體的
效果相當於將所有家庭設備，像是冰箱、冷藏室、洗碗機和洗衣機，
換成省電型的，外加隔熱牆、裝雙層玻璃、高效能鍋和恆溫器。」
愛爾蘭閱讀率最高的日報《愛爾蘭獨立報》，電話訪問清海無上師，就如何拯救地球，與讀者分享她的觀點，接下來是摘錄自，清海無上師回答愛爾蘭獨立報記者的問題︰「若世人全部吃素，世界會變成什麼樣？」
清 海無上師：「地球會成為天堂，我們會享有天堂。我們散發的氣氛，會完全是愛心與和善。因為素食不殺生、不虐待、不傷害動物，我們也不會生病，會更和平、慈 善。正面能量，會吸引正面能量，我們所需會永不匱乏；我們享受快樂的福報；我們對人類及動物，都會有愛心；我們會生活在完美的和諧之中。」

What it would mean to the United Kingdom if its citizens adopted a diet with no meat.
Marianne Thieme co-founded the Party for Animals in the Netherlands, a political party with the stated platform that animals are to be treated with respect by humans. She is the leader of the party in the Dutch Parliament.
Ms. Thieme clearly defined what it would mean to the United Kingdom if its citizens adopted a diet with no meat.
Marianne: If everyone in the UK ate
no meat for 7 days a week, they would save
91 mega tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
Indeed, this would be the same as eliminating all greenhouse gas emissions from 12.5 million households in the UK.
That is half of the UK households. If all British people ate a meat-free diet for 6 days a week, this would create greater carbon savings than removing all the cars off the UK roads, 29 million cars.
If everyone in the UK abstained from eating meat for 5 days a week, they would save 65 megatons CO2 of greenhouse gas emissions.
This would save more than the emissions reductions that would be achieved if the total electricity used in all households in the UK was eliminated.
If all British people ate no meat for 4 days a week, they would save 52 megatons CO2 of greenhouse gas emissions.
This would lead to greater carbon savings than taking 70% of all cars in the UK off the road.
And 3 days no meat would have the same positive effect on reducing greenhouse gas emissions as replacing all household appliances, such as fridges, freezers, dishwashers and washing machines with energy efficient ones, insulating walls, installing double glazing, energy efficient boilers, and thermostats.
VOICE: Ireland's most widely read daily newspaper Irish Independent, invited Supreme Master Ching Hai for a telephone interview to share her views on what needs to be done to save the planet.
The following is an excerpt from Supreme Master Ching Hai's answer to the Irish Independent journalist's question of what kind of world we will have if we all become vegetarian.
Supreme Master Ching Hai: We will not have any more Earth; we will have Heaven. Because the atmosphere that we generate, which is all loving and kind due to the vegetarian diet,
which means no killing, no abusing, and no suffering to animals, and also no sickness for us, will be more peaceful, more benevolent.
The positive will attract positive, and we will have abundance of all necessity.
And we'll have a happy conscience, and a loving heart will return to our beings, humans and animals alike.And then we'll be living in perfect harmony and peace.
