Vegan Accessories?
Scroll a little further and there are more great ideas:
And then:
Vegan Accessories? What!! The last time I checked, it was called jewelry!
(For full disclosure: I did actually enter my sister Elizabeth (Fire's birth mother) in this design challenge. She, and other traditional handicraft makers here in the Marshall Islands, make beautiful jewelry out of traditional materials, mainly from plant fibers and found shells.)
Just to clarify: you're saying that people are choosing to "be" vegan because it's getting easier?
ReplyDeleteI think everyone should choose for themselves how to live their lives and don't have anything against vegans. I ate vegetarian for a while until I had to stop when we moved here and I couldn't get enough protein.
I'll admit that my post was mocking but I don't entirely see the need to name something as "vegan" or "non-vegan" when there are some very obvious ways to distinguish one from the other. Has metal jewelry become "non-vegan" while I've been out of the US? Vegan accessories sound like a point of comparison and judgment to me rather than an inducement towards a more sustainable lifestyle.
I would really enjoy continuing this discussion with you. Please let me know if I've missed something or mis-understood the reasoning behind this.
