According to one analysis of wool production in Australia, by far the world’s top exporter, the wool required to make one knit sweater is responsible for 27 times more greenhouse gases than a comparable Australian cotton sweater, and requires 247 times more land. Sheep farming threatens native species around the world, from koalas in Australia to sage grouse in the US.
Domesticated sheep in the American West have, as my colleague Paige Vega has reported, been implicated in mass die-offs of their wild cousins, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, through the spread of the lethal pathogen Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae.
Ruminant farming’s hunger for land has made it a prime engine for colonial expansion around the world; we see this in Brazil, for example, where cattle ranching is driving illegal seizures of Indigenous land. Sheep brought by colonists to Australia “immediately trampled and destroyed all of the native yams and edible vegetables that Aboriginal people had.
The land that Aboriginal people never ceded was taken for pastoral practices,” said Emma Hakansson, the Australia-based founding director of Collective Fashion Justice, which advocates for what she calls a “total ethics” fashion system: one that’s fair to people, animals, and the planet. “Animal-derived materials in particular are a focus for us because it’s in those supply chains that all three of those groups are consistently harmed.”

Ohh, this app is so fun! It shows me just how miserable I am at writing kanji without tracing lines. 🤣🤣
The app is called Kanji Teacher - Learn Japanese on the IOS. It has a red icon with a very thickly drawn 字 in white. I’ve only just started using it, but it seems to be precisely what I was looking for. 👍

Meat eaters havent changed their arguments at all… in the past 11 years ive been vegan, theyve been saying the same Old shit as always… vegans on the other hand Weve been presenning more and more evidence on WHY going vegan is the best decision anyone Can take, not only for the animals, but the planet and our health…. And yet… not much changes.
