Lubbock, Texas -- 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 on a sidewalk together in Lubbock to let consumers know that the best thing that they can do to curb Texas' extensive drought is to go vegan.

When:   Thursday, August 25, 12 noon 

Where:  Corner of University Avenue and Broadway, Lubbock 

According to a report from the Natural Resources Defense Council, Texas' water use is already greater than its supply and sustainable water will continue to dwindle because of population growth, energy use, and climate change. 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.

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