Montreal – As wildfire smoke pollutes the Eastern and Midwestern portions of the U.S. and Canada, please see the following statement from PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman and a new PETA billboard reading, “Meat-Free = Smoke-Free,” which is hitting Montreal and other cities across North America as a reminder that wildfires are largely driven by animal agriculture:

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire, and in this case, no one should ignore how animal agriculture’s greenhouse gas emissions fuel the climate catastrophe and create conditions that let wildfires spread. PETA urges everyone to take personal responsibility for the crisis by keeping animals off our plates and opting for planet-friendly vegan foods that keep skies clear.

According to the United Nations, about a third of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions are linked to food production and the largest percentage of these emissions come from the meat and dairy industries.

PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat” and which opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview—offers a free vegan starter kit on its website For more information, please visit PETA.org, listen to The PETA Podcast, or follow the group on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.
