This week with hellogoodbye we hit up the Midwest: Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, etc.

We had our first snow in Chicago, and we also got to go to some of my favorite veg places—all the while telling the Midwest that Meat's Not Green. In fact, every second, animals raised for food in the U.S. produce 89,000 pounds of waste: That's 130 times more than is produced by the country's entire human population. Now that's a lot of poop! I would say too much poop! Want less poop in your life? Try going vegetarian for a week.

We have some pretty hip vegetarians on this tour, like Chris Drew of Never Shout Never. This cutie knows what's up and rocks a Meat's Not Green button!

We also met this awesome chick in Chicago, IL, who was sporting a PETA pin, as well as a 'V Is for Vegan' pin!


And the question that is on all of our minds: Where did I eat this week? Well I had a "save the fish" sandwich at Web of Life in Cleveland, OH:


Casandra got face deep in vegan chocolate cake and Teriyaki tofu from Balasia in Emmaus, PA:




And of course, we stuffed ourselves with vegan cupcakes from Whole Foods:


That says it all.

Jam out

This week on the Hellogoodbye tour we hit up the East Coast visiting Massachusetts, New York, Maryland, New Jersey, and of course my home town of Philly, informing Eastcoastians that Meat's Not Green. In fact, if you haven't signed the petition to get warning labels put on meat packages displaying the ways it destroys the environment, do so now! Go ahead I'll wait...

Not convinced yet? Producing a single hamburger uses enough fossil fuel to drive a small car 20 miles and enough water for 17 showers. That's more showers than I took all summer on Warped Tour!

And as we all know, there are tons of veg options out there—heck, you know that's my specialty! In fact feast your eyes on "beef" and broccoli from Grasshopper in Boston, and "Chick n Cheese" quesadillas from Govinda's in Philly! Oh dang.

It's that time to give love to the amazing kids we meet everyday! Some Street Teamers came out to the show and showed some love to peta2 and the animals!




And what fun would it be without a silly tour pic? Thanks to Casey, touring guitarist for Never Shout Never, for repping Meat's Not Green—and for going veg!


Stay Classy
