Los Angeles--Naked behind a banner that reads, "Clean Your Conscience: Go Vegan! 1 lb. of Meat Equals 6 Months of Showers," two PETA beauties will shower together on a sidewalk in Los Angeles in celebration of World Water Day. The women want consumers to know that the best way to conserve water and to help the environment is to go vegan.

Where:   Intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Ivar Avenue, Los Angeles

When:   Tuesday, March 22, 12 noon

Going vegan is an easy way to cut down on personal water usage, and it's the best thing that anyone can do to help stop animal suffering. According to Environmental Defense, if every American skipped one meal of chicken per week and substituted vegetarian foods instead, the carbon dioxide savings would be the same as taking more than half a million cars off U.S. roads.

"It's impossible to 'go green' without going vegan," says PETA beauty Virginia Fort. "Just by changing their diets, concerned people can help protect the Earth, their own health, and countless animals."
