But... DID U KNOW: fake fur is made from petroleum/oil! So are acrylic yarns and most other non-natural fibers. I did a little internet searching and apparently acrylic fibers can take between 500 and 1,000 years to decompose.
SOLUTION? Recycled/used/secondhand! Only recycled fibers actually reduce waste. This is why I take the time to unravel sweaters, dudes!

You make a very good point here. I'm not sure how I feel about real fur - I don't even know if I'd wear fake. You get a lot of comments in the street about wearing fur, and I'm not sure I'm ready to have abuse hurled at me. Saying that, if I were to wear real fur, it would have to be recycled. I would never dream of wearing new fur!
