Alicia Silverstone, an animal rights activist and actress, has just posed nude for PETA’s latest campaign, “Don’t Be a Prick“. The cactus themed campaign emphasizes the importance of wearing vegan leather instead of wearing leather made from the hide of animals.
Peta’s “DON’T BE A PRICK” tells viewers to “Wear Vegan. Buy cactus, mushroom or apple leather instead!”
Alicia Silverstone, the now 46 year old former teen ‘Clueless’ star, said of the campaign, “I never, ever, get naked in TV, in film, nothin’, never, nope — but I’ve done it for PETA because that’s how much it matters to me.”
“The amount of resources, water, food, oil for transport, the amount of energy that goes into making leather is extraordinary. It’s just not sustainable. The Earth can’t handle it,” she pleads.
Silverstone has been a vegan since 1999, and said, “My dream is to get these vegan, earth-friendly materials into the hands of famous designers. I’d rather go naked than wear animals,” the San Francisco native reiterates, wearing a pretty blush-colored robe outside ahead of the shoot.’
PETA also pleads to join Alicia Silverstone in ‘Saying No to Leather’, “Cruelty is a choice. When you shop, you can make a difference and help reduce the number of animals killed for fashion by choosing one of the many innovative and sustainable vegan leather materials available, including mushroom, apple, and cactus leather,” PETA said.
