Former model Playboy Anderson wrote to India's Prime Minister Modi to encourage vegetarianism to combat climate change.

Pamela Anderson, now an American animal rights activist, representing the Animal Rights Protection Organization (PETA), urges Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to encourage people to be vegan by giving speeches His, local media reported today.

Veganism is a more strict vegetarian diet, not only eliminating animal meat, but also eliminating milk, eggs and other animal-derived ingredients such as honey, whey, and some forms of vitamin D3. The vegan lifestyle aims to eliminate all forms of exploitation and cruelty to animals as much as possible.

Former model Playboy, 52, said the process of raising animals to get milk, meat, eggs and skin contributes to one fifth of all anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Anderson persuaded Prime Minister Modi to reform Indian agriculture, focusing on soybeans and other agricultural food products to replace animal slaughter.

Anderson insists veganism is not an option, but a necessity.

The former Playboy model last month also sent a letter to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, asking him to bring nutritious vegan meals into prison.

Modi has not responded to Anderson's letter. The Indian prime minister is considered a model of environmental protection, he once posted videos of barefoot scavenging on the beach to encourage people to raise awareness.
