Dear Prime Minister,
尊敬的总理：

As you know, animal agriculture is one of the most damaging sources of greenhouse gas emissions and causes of deforestation. Climate scientists inform us that to avoid climate catastrophe we need to take swift and meaningful actions to address emissions from animal agriculture, as well as fossil fuels and other sources.
正如您所知道的，动物农业是破坏性最大的温室气体排放源和毁林原因之一。气候科学家告诉我们，为了避免气候灾难，我们需要迅速采取有效的措施，解决动物农业以及化石燃料和其他来源的排放问题。

We are pleased to see that you will be attending the COP26 climate conference commencing this Sunday. An international event of this significance will be a fantastic opportunity for you to show not only your government’s, but your personal commitment to creating a better world for current and future generations.
我们很高兴了解到，您将出席本周日召开的COP26气候大会。如此重要的国际盛事将是一次绝佳的机会，让您能够展示不仅是贵政府的而且也是您个人的承诺──为当代和子孙后代创造一个更美好的世界。

COP26 has announced that plant-based dishes will dominate the menu for the event. The carbon footprint for each menu item will also be displayed. We encourage you to make climate-friendly choices by opting for plant-based meals while at the conference.
COP26峰会已经宣布，将为与会人员提供以植物性食品为主的膳食。此外，每道菜还将标明碳足迹（carbon footprint）。我们鼓励您做出有利于气候的选择，在大会期间采纳植物性饮食。

We also urge you to continue to maintain a plant-based lifestyle throughout November by joining the free Vegan Easy 30 Day Challenge for World Vegan Month. Visit www.veganeasy.org/challenge to sign up to receive helpful resources, support and dietitian-approved advice to guide you to a compassionate, environmentally-friendly and healthful way of life. You could even ask your family to join you. Taking up a new habit can be easier when the whole family tries it together.
我们还恳请您在整个11月份继续保持植物性的生活方式，为庆祝世界纯素月（World Vegan Month）参加免费的“纯素容易30天挑战”（Vegan Easy 30 Day Challenge）活动。请访问www.veganeasy.org/challenge网页，报名参加这项活动，接收有用的资源、支持和营养师认可的建议，以指导您实行慈悲、环保和有益健康的生活方式。您当然可以邀请自己的家人和您一起参加活动。全家人齐心协力共同尝试的话，就能够更容易养成新的生活习惯。

It's not too late to inform your airline of your updated catering requirements to enjoy a more climate-friendly flight to Glasgow. Will you commit to joining the multitude of other participants on the Vegan Easy November Challenge?
为了享受飞往格拉斯哥（Glasgow）的更加环保之旅，现在向您的航班提出您最新的餐食要求还不算太晚。您能否决定和其他众多的参与者一样加入“纯素容易十一月挑战”（Vegan Easy November Challenge）？

Will you accept our invitation and be part of the solution by fighting climate change with diet change?
