願所有人類覺知我們大家共享相近的希望、慾望、需求與資源。我們彼此相互依賴，也彼此相互依賴這個賴以生存的地球。當我們體認到我們所共同擁有的，遠超過我們之間的差異總和時，我們即能開始傾聽彼此的心聲，以及我們所共同擁有的真理。只有在這個情況下，我們才能攜手走上和平之路。
祝大家有個多彩多姿與充滿健康的新年。

My wish for 2005:
May all beings recognize that
we share similar hopes, desires, needs, and resources.
We are dependent on each other and on the earth
that supports us all. When we understand that
what we have in common is far greater than the
sum of our differences, we can start to listen
to each other and hear our shared truths. Only
then will we be able to walk together on the path
of peace.
I hope you have a wonderful and
health-filled New Year.
Warm regards,
Jo Stepaniak
 祈望大家對這個充滿不必要痛苦的世界負起責任；挑戰我們所看到的，質疑社會設定觀點與習慣。
My wish is to see people take
personal responsibility in a world so full of
needless suffering, challenging themselves to
open their eyes and question society's assumptions
and habits.

 祈望在2005年裡，一些國際組織像歐盟、聯合國糧農組織與世界衛生組織不再忽略素食的重要，相反的，以他們的專業能力來驗證不含肉類食品的飲食對人類健康、環境與動物福祉的效益。

My wish for 2005
I hope that in 2005 international bodies like
the EU, FAO and WHO are going to stop ignoring
vegetarianism but will instead user their scientific
capacity to examine meatless diets and their beneficial
consequences on human health, the environment
and the welfare of animals.
