There are a lot of times I feel like just…flipping the vegan script.
It’s not ‘polyester’ it’s plastic
It’s not ‘vegan leather’ it’s plastic
Its not ‘faux fur’ it’s plastic
Plastic is a pollutant and causes far more damage to the environment both now and in the future than leather or wool.
Please stop telling me that the Plastic Lyfe is the only life, it is not. My leather shoes will last a decade where pleather is lucky to last 12 months. Leather (and wool) decompose and are renewable. Plastic is neither of those.
THANK YOUUUUUUU~
A single wash cycle of plastic-based fiber (polyester, poly fleece, faux fur) may release 700,000 pieces of microplastic into our waters. Nasty stuff.
aw dangit
Wool is the most environmentally friendly fabric despite being an animal product.
Using wool isnt even harming sheep
Sheep need to be sheered or else it will cause serious problems. It’s a mutual relationship, we help sheep get rid of the pesky wool and it gives us a very useful material.
I am stretched on your grave And I’ll lie here forever If your hands were in mine I’d be sure they would not sever. My apple tree, my brightness, It’s time we were together For I smell by the earth And I’m worn by the weather.
When my family think That I’m safely in my bed Oh, from mourn’ until night I am stretched out at your head Calling out unto the earth With tears hot and wild For the loss of the girl That I loved as a child.
Do you remember the night Oh, the night when we were lost In the shade of the blackthorn And the touch of the frost? Oh, and thanks be to Jesus We did all that was right And your maidenhead still Is your pillar of light.
Oh, the priests and the friars They approach me in dread Oh for I love you still Oh, my life, and you’re dead But I still will be your shelter Through rain and through storm And with you in your cold grave I cannot sleep warm
So I am stretched on your grave And I’ll lie here forever If you hands were in mine I’d be sure they would not sever My apple tree, my brightness, It’s time we were together For I smell by the Earth And I’m worn by the weather.
