On Monday, at precisely 12 at noon, a fairly odd couple are scheduled to make their appearance at the JONS International Marketplace in Glendale.

The giant celery and the oversized carrot will be giving shoppers free reusable bags, and asking them to ditch meat and dairy.

“Handing out free reusable bags that read, ‘If Going Green Is Your Bag, Go Vegan,’ PETA members dressed as a giant celery stalk and a gargantuan carrot will greet shoppers outside a Glendale grocery store on Monday,” PETA details on this project.

“The humongous veggies' point? That while Glendale's ban on using plastic carry-out bags is a good way to start protecting the environment, the very best thing that concerned residents can do for the planet is to chuck meat, eggs, and dairy products and go vegan,” the organization explains.

As reported several times in the past, the animal rights activists working with PETA are convinced that those who become vegans are doing a huge favor not just to themselves, but also to the environment.
