In downtown San Antonio, we covered our gorgeous model in collard greens to create a totally green, floor-length gown. We handed out “Meat’s Not Green” leaflets and copies of “Glass Walls,” a riveting video exposé of the meat industry narrated by Paul McCartney, and onlookers were captivated.

In California, which is feeling the effects of one of the worst droughts in history, two PETA beauties celebrated Earth Day by showering on the Santa Monica’s Third Street Promenade, pointing out that producing a single pound of meat sucks up as much water as six months’ worth of showers.

If people stopped eating meat, even just for a day—say, Earth Day—it would make a world of difference.
