29.03.2026 Berlin – During last night’s global Earth Hour, as landmarks worldwide went dark to spotlight the climate catastrophe, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Germany lit up the Brandenburg Gate with “Vegan for the Planet.” The action spotlights that animal agriculture is a leading driver of greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, pollution, and biodiversity loss, and calls on the public to take climate action by going vegan.
“Earth Hour is the perfect time for individuals to consider the environmental impact of their dinner plates,” says PETA Senior Vice President for Europe Mimi Bekhechi. “Choosing vegan foods slashes resource use and spares animals from immense suffering, making it one of the most powerful actions anyone can take for the planet and its inhabitants.”
Research shows that each person who goes vegan lowers their food-related carbon footprint by up to 75% – making it, according to researchers at Oxford University, “the single biggest way” to reduce one’s impact on the planet. It also spares nearly 200 animals a year from miserable, short lives and terrifying deaths. PETA’s free vegan starter kit can help those looking to make the switch.
