This Earth Week, we’re for the animals and for the planet

Hello! This Friday is Earth Day—a global day of celebration and transformative action for our beautiful planet. 

It’s become so clear to me that the fate of animals is bound up with the fate of our environment. Industrial animal agriculture is driving climate change—and by ending factory farming, we may stand a chance of halting, and even reversing, global warming. And I have hope that, together, we can help create the systemic change our world needs. I’m confident that by treating chickens and cows and pigs and sheep with compassion, we’re not just changing the lives of billions of innocent individuals—we’re also giving our planet a fighting chance at survival. So, thank you for all you do for the animals. When you fight for them, you’re also creating critical change for the planet.
