I ♥ Street Teamers. Seriously—I never cease to be impressed by the creative things you all do to help animals. Case in point: The rings that 14-year-old Taylor McKune from Michigan recently made. Cuteness—with a message:

Love it! Not only was Taylor awesome enough to make these rings, she was sweet enough to share how she made them on the peta2 message boards. I asked Taylor a few questions—check out what she had to say:

How long have you been a vegetarian? Do you have a particular food you absolutely love?
I've been a vegetarian since August 18th, so I'm a newbie. It's been exciting trying new foods like fake meat; Boca patties are amazing. They taste so similar to the real thing! I never realized how many foods I already loved were vegetarian, that's definitely helped me stay motivated. I love to eat apples with peanut butter, or Taco Bell crunch wraps with rice instead of beef.

What's your favorite thing about the Street Team?
My favorite thing about the Street Team is the boards. I read through them almost every day, and I'm learning so much. I can't thank the other members enough for sharing their ideas and tips, it's all had a major impact on my decision to go vegetarian.

Do you have any other creative ways to get the animal rights message out there? The rings are a great idea!
I think a great way to raise awareness about animal rights is through what you wear. It can be difficult telling people why they should go veg or pass on the circus, and they oftentimes don't wanna hear it. Simplier things like jewelry, shirts, and hoodies can get every person you walk by thinking. I really like that peta2 offers items like these to their Street Team members. I've always enjoyed DIY things, and they aren't that expensive either. I've made a lot of bracelets out of alphabet letter beads with animal rights messages, the rings are just another idea. There are a lot of ways to get people thinking about animal rights without saying a word.

Isn't Taylor awesome? I'm betting that quite a few of you have some peta2 stickers ready and waiting to be turned into rings—so make like Taylor and get to it! And be sure to send us photos!
