Vivienne Westwood: Wash Cruelty Down the Plughole
She’s famous for making fabulous (and often vegan-friendly) fashion – but in her new video for PETA, Dame Vivienne Westwood forgoes clothes altogether for a cause close to her heart – saving the planet!
For World Water Day, the iconic British designer explains what taking long showers has to do with being an eco-warrior:
The stylish ad was directed by Robbie Newby and scored by BAFTA-winner Carter Burwell.
Dame Vivienne has a point – it takes 15 times more water to produce 1 kilogram of meat than it does to produce 1 kilogram of fruits or vegetables. As she says:
“By avoiding meat, you do more for the environment than recycling or driving a hybrid car combined”
The meat trade is also responsible for extreme, industrial-scale cruelty to the billions of animals it mutilates and kills each year as well as contributing to global problems from deforestation to world hunger.
Fancy having a squeaky-clean conscience like Vivienne?
