Dear President Biden,

Merry Christmas from me and my Vegan herd! On this special occasion, we want to help you shoulder the enormous responsibilities you face today as the leader of the global political system.

The climate disaster is here and now – pandemics, chronic diseases, tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, droughts, floods, polar ice melts, mass extinction – the manure has hit the fan. This is not the time to fly in on private jets, drive around in SUVs and cower behind a ring of steel at COP26 in Glasgow, eating venison cheeseburgers.

This is the time to find the cowrage to take action. When the manure hits the fan, we must turn off the fan first.

For starters, did you know that the United States is the only major country yet to ratify the UN Convention on Biological Diversity? Don’t you find that unacceptable?

Moo, I do.

Perhaps you can get the US Senate to ratify the Convention and commit to ending extinction now. Please find the cowrage to take on Big Farma on this issue.

Did you know that the United States has nearly 40 million people who go hungry every day? Don’t you find that unacceptable?

Moo, I do.

Perhaps you can subsidize healthy plant-based foods and make them easily and cheaply available everywhere, instead of continuing to subsidize Big Farma and its planet destroying, disease promoting, animal farming monstrosity.

Did you know that nearly 80% of adults in the United States are overweight or obese? Don’t you find that unacceptable?

Moo, I do.

Again, you can subsidize healthy plant-based foods and make them easily and cheaply available everywhere, instead of continuing to subsidize Big Farma.

You can join me to help transform a climate heating anthropocentric world of greed, competition, accumulation and domination to a climate healing biocentric world of service, solidarity, collaboration and compassion for all life.

We begin by solving your global public health crisis. You put on your oxygen mask first before helping others put theirs on.  Humans must heal themselves before healing the planet.

Just think how awesome that biocentric world would be and how much your children and grandchildren will thank you for helping to create it.

Please share my video with your grandchildren. Thanks to my herd, the video now has subtitles in 9 languages, with more to come.

Also, please share this UN press conference video with your administrative staff. It shows why Big Farma’s Killing machine is the leading cause of the climate disaster and why focusing exclusively on the fossil fuel Burning machine, while ignoring me, the Cow in the Room, would be the greatest systems engineering blunder in the short history of your species.

Please read “Food is Climate,” a book by Glen Merzer explaining the science behind the Climate Healers position paper from a layperson’s perspective.

Finally, please do join us at our Vegan Convergence of the Parties #8, V-COP8 on January 29-30, 2022.

My herd has the cowrage to address the climate crisis with integrity. Surely you do too.

Eat plants.
Plant trees.
Love animals.
Heal the planet.

Be a superhero. Join my herd. Let’s grow our moovement together.

My heart beats awaiting your reply,

Yours faithfully,

Vega, Cow and Climate Healer
