Ottawa -- Naked behind a banner that reads, "Clean Your Conscience: Go Vegan! 1 lb. of Meat = 6 Months of Showers," two PETA beauties will shower together on a sidewalk in Ottawa to let consumers know that the best thing that they can do for the environment is to go vegan.

When:   Thursday, June 24, 12 noon 

Where:  Intersection of George Street and Byward Market Square, Ottawa

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 of U.S. roads. And, of course, going vegan is the best thing that anyone can do to help stop animal suffering.

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