Climate Healers is a non-profit dedicated towards healing the Earth’s climate. It was founded by Sailesh Rao, Ph.D, a systems engineer with 40 years of experience devising systems solutions. Climate Healers primarily focuses on the main driver of climate change that is more powerful than all other drivers combined: animal agriculture. Conveniently, it is by far the easiest, quickest and least expensive one to address. People everywhere could just go vegan and stop consuming animal based foods, making it possible to get climate change under control at the end of our forks. Yet it is the one solution that world leaders studiously ignore, even in UN climate change conferences such as COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland.

 

The Cow in the Room campaign introduced at COP26 and led by Vega, Cow and Climate Healer, uses humor and storytelling to reveal this convenient truth about animal agriculture and to deploy solutions. Vega plays the part of an exasperated mother cow who is weaning her human infant after 10,000 years of suckling her maternal secretions. She has the superpower of supersonic methane locomotion and she primarily addresses the impact of animal agriculture on the environment. She is partnered with Obe, the pig, who represents obesity and chronic diseases, Flo the chicken, who wears a face mask and represents pandemics, Eggbert the egg who represents chemical pollution and Microft the fish, who constantly coughs up micro plastics and represents plastic pollution of the ocean. Vega speaks for all the animals while consulting them on their respective areas of expertise. Having witnessed the gross incompetence on display at the UN COP26 summit in Glasgow, Vega has now summoned a quarterly Vegan Convergence of the Parties (V-COP) so that her loyal herd can actually solve global problems with cowrage and integrity.
