People love their leather bags, leather shoes, leather furniture and their "healing" crystals on leather cords. Here is that leather. These were lives. These were beings who wanted to live, who did not want to die for a couch or a purse or boots or a cord for some crystal said to be healing. Really, don't expect much healing from crystals if they're hung on objects of suffering and death. Repost from @thediscerningbrute using @RepostRegramApp - Just wrote a new piece for thediscerningbrute.com, "MASSIVE FASHION INDUSTRY STUDIES CONDEMN ANIMAL MATERIALS". Two of the most thorough and respected fashion industry reports from @copenhagenfashionsummit, @bostonconsultinggroup & @kering_official single out animal-materials *especially leather* as the worst offenders in damaging the environment. Materials like PU (polyurethane) leather are found to have less than half of the environmental impacts as their animal-derived counterparts. .
