PETA To Amitabh Bachchan: Go Veg To Go Green At IIFA Event!
Written by Vegetarian Star on May 27th, 2009 in Actors, Bollywood, Environment-Eco-Green.
Amitabh Bachchan is a longtime vegetarian and PETA wants him to encourage others to do so by serving only vegetarian food at an India International Film Academy (IIFA) event in Macau, China next month.
After all, the theme for the event is “Go-Green,” and what environmentalist doesn’t know by now that meat isn’t environmentally friendly.
PETA India chief functionary Anuradha Sawhney sent a letter to Bachchan containing the following statement:
“We were thrilled to hear that this year’s IIFA Awards are going to have a ‘Go Green’ theme, and we commend you for helping to once again draw attention to the global climate crisis. On behalf of PETA India and all our members and supporters, we respectfully ask you to serve only green (vegetarian) food at the event.”
“By doing so, you will send a strong message that people can save the planet simply by changing their dietary habits.”
Do you know any environmentalists who really haven’t “gone green all the way” yet? Are they missing the connection between wasted land and energy in raising farm animals for human food consumption (not to mention other animal consumption)?
Get in the game and drop them a little note like the one sent to Bachchan! Some one’s gotta remind them that meat’s not green!
