Alicia Silverstone made headlines Tuesday after she posed nude for PETA’s new campaign. The 46-year-old became a part of the campaign to show her support for animal rights and encourage people to wear vegan clothes.
“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,” Silverstone, 46, said in PEOPLE’s first look at an exclusive video interview. “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 urged.
