Bakersfield, California. – Ahead of bushfire season and as part of its Become a Vegan for the Earth campaign, PETA placed a vegan billboard in Bakersfield to remind everyone that the best thing they can do for the planet and prevent wildfires is Go vegan.
“We have a chance to save animal lives and fight climate change every time we sit down to eat,” says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. “PETA encourages everyone to be Power of nature for the planet by choosing delicious vegan food on Earth Day and every day. “
Every person who goes vegan saves the lives of nearly 200 animals a year and uses less water, fights deforestation and reduces their carbon footprint as raising animals for food is a major source of greenhouse gases. According to the United Nations, a global transition to a vegan diet is necessary to combat the worst effects of climate change.
People who go vegan also lower their risk of heart attacks, cancer and diabetes and help prevent future epidemics and pandemics. SARS, swine flu, avian flu, and COVID-19 all arose from keeping and killing animals for food.
PETA’s Become a Vegan for the Earth campaign also includes ads in Colorado, South Dakota, Utah and Santa Barbara, California, as well as partnerships with over 100 vegan restaurants across the country to encourage people to promise to eat vegan food. for a day, at least…
PETA, whose motto is in part that “the animals are not ours to eat” – opposes arrogance, a worldview focused on human superiority. For more information please visit PETA.org or subscribe to the group on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram…
