Why Choose Vegan Shoes?
We understand the importance of choosing animal free footwear from many perspectives. By avoiding the byproducts of the animal agriculture industry, consumers further their dollar's vote for conscious products. Choosing animal free products is synonymous with earth conscious living!
- The leather that many shoes are made out of comes from animals raised for food.
- The animal agriculture industry is responsible for the clearcutting of South American rainforests; pollution of our soil, water and air; slow poisoning of wealthy countries and starvation of millions of people in poor countries.
- Factory farms produce greenhouse gasses that are exponentially more potent than carbon in warming out atmosphere.
- According to current reports by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, animal agriculture is the number one cause of global warming and the threat it poses to all life on Earth.
Many people also choose vegan options to make sure their dollars do not support the cruelty and suffering that farm animals endure. The information may seem all but uplifting so consider this quote by Margaret Mead:
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has."
