As part of PETA’s “Go Vegan for the Earth” Day campaign, locally based sandwich chain Ike’s Love & Sandwiches will unveil a new vegan sandwich on Thursday: the Earth Angel, a hearty stack of meat-free turkey, dairy-free mozzarella, mushrooms, cabbage slaw, and Ike’s iconic Dirty Secret Sauce on Dutch Crunch bread. The limited-edition sandwich will be available at 60 Ike’s locations for one week, and a portion of the proceeds will support PETA’s work to help animals.
“Ike’s Earth Angel sandwich is a heavenly way to spare animals’ lives, save water, and slash carbon emissions,” says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. “PETA encourages everyone to be a force of nature for the planet by eating vegan on Earth Day and every day.”
Animal agriculture drains freshwater supplies; pollutes groundwater, lakes, and rivers; and is the leading cause of ocean dead zones, species extinction, and habitat destruction—and by some estimates, it generates more greenhouse-gas emissions than all the world’s transportation systems combined.
More than 50 restaurants are participating in PETA’s campaign, including Boss ChicknBeer in Cleveland; The Village Restaurant in Litchfield, Connecticut; Kale My Name in Chicago; Barberitos in Asheville, North Carolina; Ben’s Chili Bowl in Washington, D.C.; Inspired Cravings in Gainesville, Virginia; Karma Baker in Westlake Village, California; Juicy Kitchen in Ann Arbor, Michigan; and Arlo’s Curbside in Austin, Texas.
PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat” and which opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview—will give away free Earth Angel sandwiches at the Ike’s location in Las Vegas on Earth Day.
