Lizzy Greene's official website says it all: "Actress, Artist & Animal Lover. " At 13, Lizzy has performed in children's theater, and she is a trained gymnast. She is most known for her role as Dawn Harper on Nickelodeons Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn. Now Lizzy is taking on another role—as a voice for animals.
She grew up with dogs, and her family's pet is a 110-pound German shepherd(牧羊犬) named Jett. On the show, Lizzy shares the screen with a lovable 20-pound dog named Squishy Paws. In second grade, she stationed herself outside her school to ask for donations (捐款) to a local animal shelter.
Now Lizzy is also speaking out for farm animals. She's recently joined The Humane Society of the United States, Meatless Monday movement. She encourages young people to take a break from eating meat on Mondays. And she's encouraging the under-20 crowd to take part.
Lizzy knows that raising animals for meat causes pollution, uses a lot of natural resources (资源) like water and also harms animals. Choosing meat-free meals one day a week is also a great way to feel healthy.
Many K-12 schools, universities and hospitals nationwide have started Meatless Monday programs.
