Pamela Anderson to G20 World Leaders: Go Vegan to Combat Climate Catastrophe
London – Ahead of the G20 Summit in Delhi, PETA India has placed an eye-catching billboard starring international mega-star and long-time vegan Pamela Anderson – who runs a vegan cooking show and only models vegan clothes – which proclaims “Too Hot? Blame the meat industry for the climate catastrophe. G20: Go Vegan!”, outside Indira Gandhi International Airport.
Confronting world leaders – including UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak – the billboard draws attention to the role of animal agriculture in the global climate catastrophe, marked by high temperatures, droughts, and floods, among other disasters, and advises them that going vegan is the answer. In recent months, Delhi has experienced unusually high temperatures, nearing 50°C.
Scientists agree with Anderson that going vegan is the single most effective thing anyone can do to help save the planet – and world leaders should be leading the change. Anderson, a long-time vegan who runs a vegan cooking show and only models vegan clothes, and PETA India hope G20 member countries will commit to fighting climate change with diet change by urging their residents to eat responsibly by eating vegan.
According to the United Nations, about a third of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions is linked to food production and the largest percentage of these emissions comes from the meat and dairy industries. Recently, the most comprehensive analysis to date concluded that eating vegan involves the production of 75% less climate-heating emissions and water pollution and requires 75% less land than meat-rich diets. Every person who goes vegan spares nearly 200 animals each year a life of suffering and a terrifying death and reduces their own risk of developing heart disease and cancer.
PETA – whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat” – opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview. For more information, please visit PETA.org.uk or follow the group on Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), , or Instagram.
