 Activist Eilish

However, Billie Eilish is not popular among the masses only for her immense talent, the singer is a passionate vegan and vocal animal welfare activist and regularly uses her social platform to spread awareness about climate change and animal cruelty.

For her upcoming March world-tour, Billie Eilish has partnered with Global Citizen to provide free tickets to fans who are keen to help save the planet.

She has also collaborated with  Reverb– a non-profit environmental organization to make her world tour ‘as green as possible’.

Animal rights campaigner

In one post, which she shared with her current 50. 6 million followers, Eilish highlighted the atrocities inflicted on animals used for wool and urged her fans to ditch the material.

In a week previous to the anti-wool message, she called out the mink industry, telling her followers that people who buy mink products ‘disgust’ her.

Vegan clothing line

To further her green campaign, this month,  Billie Eilish released her sustainable Billie Eilish merch collection with H&M. The collection includes T-shirts, bucket hats, belt bags, beanies, sweatshirts, and socks all printed with Eilish logos and made from eco-friendly materials.
