Free Stuff Friday: Meat's Not Green Tote Bags! December 18, 2008
Posted by Patricia at December 18, 2008 6:12 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 220 ) | TrackBackOne of my favorite peta2 campaigns is "Meat's Not Green" for lots of reasons—the biggest being that I'm tired of listening to people talk about recycling and changing light bulbs and driving hybrids while chewing on a chicken sandwich. Newsflash...you're not an environmentalist if you still eat animals. Plain and simple.
As the UN points out, the number one cause of global warming is raising animals for meat. Everyone needs to get that message loud and clear, and we want you to help us spread the word. So this week's Free Stuff Friday is for the "Meat's Not Green" tote bag.
They're organic cotton canvas and big enough to hold a bunch of groceries, books, clothes, whatever you want to cram in there. Plus, these babies are machine washable in case you're concerned about that sort of thing.
Want to be one of five lucky winners? Then comment below with your thoughts about why you can't be a meat-eating environmentalist.
This contest ends January 2, 2009 and the winners will be chosen and notified by January 6, 2009.

peta2 Wants You To Get Dirty! November 10, 2008
Posted by Rachel-O at November 10, 2008 10:40 AM | Permalink | Comments ( 51 ) | TrackBackWe've all seen it. Whether we're driving six hours to a concert, or driving to a friends house: a dirty car with either a ridiculously lewd or hilarious thing that catches everyone's attention, written in the dirt, mud, snow, or whatever it may be covering the windows and paint of a car.
Never one to a miss a chance to get the word out, we want you to use this opportunity to speak up for animals! Who likes washing their car anyway?
It's pretty easy, instead of writing "Wash Me", "I'm Dirty" or something else totally unoriginal like that, try "Meat's Not Green!" and/or peta2.com and send us a picture!
Think about it as a bumper sticker, but obviously much, much cooler.
Disclaimer: Of course, only do this to your own car. We want to help animals, not get anyone in trouble!
Stay Loud!

Joan Jett's Veggie Testimonial October 27, 2008

Vegan vegetarian celeb Meat's Not Green PSA Joan Jett
Few women can say they rock as hard as Joan Jett, just ask peta2 staffer Ashleigh who may or may not be dressing as the "original riot grrrl" for Halloween this year. We'll just have to wait and see.
But one thing's for certain, Joan is one of the most outspoken vegans you'll ever meet. And not in a preachy sort of way either, she's too cool to lecture anyone. Instead she chooses to hit you with the facts about the devastating toll that the meat industry has on the environment. Check it out.
Joan gave meat the boot almost 20 years ago after finding out what happens to animals raised and killed for food. Find out what else she had to say when we picked her brain during her PSA photo shoot. Oh, and you'll also find out why she's one of my (and Ashleigh's) heroes.

Who Loves Rise Against? October 2, 2008
Posted by Shannon Phillips at October 2, 2008 5:06 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 19 ) | TrackBackToday is a very, very good day. peta2 staffers are in Cleveland, Ohio kicking off the Rise Against, Alkaline Trio, Thrice, and Gaslight Anthem tour. Could there be a line up that's any better than that? Yeah, I didn't think so!
Tomorrow will be an even better day for me, as Pulin and I will be flying to Canada for the second and third shows of the tour. Not only are we going to eat copious amounts of vegan KFC sandwiches while we're in Canada, but we'll be spreading the word that "Meat's Not Green". That's right, our friends in Rise Against have invited us to come along on the tour, and we'll be at every show letting everyone know that factory farming is not only a cruel industry for animals, but it's also cruel for the environment. Raising animals for food generates more greenhouse gas emissions (See Also: Cause of global warming!) than the entire transportation industry combined! In my opinion, going vegetarian should be synonymous with going green.
We think that Rise Against's video for "Ready to Fall" is a perfect visual to accompany this campaign. This is the version you won't see on television. Check it out below!
Find out why "Meat's Not Green"!
Not only will we be on the Rise Against tour, but when you get their new album, Appeal to Reason, in stores October 7th, you'll be greeted with a peta2 "Meat's Not Green" sticker once you open it. How awesome is that? We love Rise Against because they're passionate about speaking out for animals and the environment (it doesn't hurt that their music rules either, right?)
The tour dates are posted, the peta2 van is loaded, and we're ready to meet you! We'll have peta2 staff members at every show, and if you're interested in helping us out with getting petitions signed for Meat's Not Green, all you have to do is stop by the table.
Will we see you there?
xoxo,
Shan
Meat's Not Green Video October 1, 2008
Posted by Pulin Modi at October 1, 2008 7:57 AM | Permalink | Comments ( 1 ) | TrackBackHave you seen the new Meat's Not Green site?
There is plenty of evidence out there to back up what we're saying about the connection between saving the planet and helping animals including this recent article which talks about how, "(g)oing vegan—giving up meat and dairy products—would cut the emissions released in making what you eat more than seven-fold..." Pretty powerful stuff!
Meat's Not Green is such an incredible campaign, and one of my favorite parts of it is the video that talks about how the meat industry causes so much destruction to the planet.
It's informative and pretty short, so check it out.
Find out why "Meat's Not Green"!
