Sustainability is a complicated issue. Cotton uses a gazillion litres of water to produce. Is it "sustainable?" Not in drought-stricken areas, that's for sure. When it comes to fur, it seems some animals are more equal than others (to quote Animal Farm), so it's worth thinking about the type of real fur you're looking at. On the other hand, fake fur will live in landfills for millennia. I think people need to consider all sides of a debate and then make an informed choice.
Great post and thank you for all the excellent reading suggestions!
Thank you, Vicki!
