A few months ago, we shared photos from the Times Square launch of our "Clean Your Conscience" shower campaign. The campaign highlights that it takes 5,000 gallons of water to produce just 1 pound of meat.
I wanted to let you know that we definitely didn't stop the campaign following the NYC demo. In recent months, we've taken the shower, our soapy ladies, and the message that producing 1 pound of meat uses roughly the same amount of water as six months' worth of showers to Boston, Cleveland, Detroit, Rochester, and more. In each city, we've gotten loads of media and spectator attention, meaning that thousands upon thousands of people have learned that if they care about the environment, they should go vegetarian today.
Here are some of the highlights from the tour:
If we haven't hit your city yet, don't worry. The tour—and the message that "1 Lb. of Meat = 6 Months of Showers"—is still going strong. Next up, our now squeaky-clean ladies will be showering in Columbus and Pittsburgh.

Awesome. The activism, that is. Not the 6 months worth of showers to produce 1 pound of meat.

This is nice, but the mayority of people doesn't care about animals,planet about nothing, they are so selfish, they only want to live their lives, don't care for others. I think this kind of people never going to change and this world is going to be more and more cruelty

95% of the water you are referring to is rainwater that fall to the ground anyway. It sure makes sense that if we didn't you rainwater to grow crops we might just save the world. Growing crops is beneficial to the environment.
