Phoenix -- Naked behind a banner that reads, "Clean Your Conscience: Go Vegan! 1 lb. of Meat Equals 6 Months of Showers," two PETA beauties will shower together on a sidewalk in Phoenix in celebration of Earth Day. The women want consumers to know that the best way to conserve water and to help the environment is to go vegan.
When: Friday, April 22, 11 a.m.
Where: Outside of the Wyndham Phoenix Hotel, 50 E. Adams St., Phoenix
The U.S. government's National Integrated Drought Information System identifies Phoenix as an area facing abnormally dry conditions. Going vegan is an easy way to fight climate change and reduce personal water usage, and it's the best thing that anyone can do to help stop animal suffering.
"It's impossible to 'go green' without going vegan," says PETA beauty Ashley Byrne. "Just by changing their diets, concerned people can help protect the Earth, their own health, and countless animals."
