Why Leather is a Progressive Issue

 

The Green Issue of Vanity Fair, currently on shelves, correctly notes in

discussing the impact of our purchasing decisions that " fur and leather...mean

slaughtering animals, " but in an issue packed with otherwise thoughtful

analysis, they missed the fact that in addition to the sad fact that wearing fur

or leather means, literally, wearing a part of an animal's corpse (or many of

them, if you're wearing a full length fur), both products have adverse

environmental impacts that far outpace their faux fur and pleather (i.e., faux

leather) counterparts.

 

 

 

 

 

There is power in a factory, power in the land

Power in the hands of a worker

But it all amounts to nothing if together we don't stand

There is power in a Union

Now the lessons of the past were all learned with workers' blood

The mistakes of the bosses we must pay for

From the cities and the farmlands to trenches full of mud

War has always been the bosses' way, sir
