Today 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
