i cannot understand why people think pvc is okay. it is a plastic, and is made with non renewable resources. it is also a polutant, and is not biodegradable. buy secondhand leather shoes, or fabric shoes colored with plant dyes. you should also make sure to use shoes with soles and heels that will biodegrade, and are not polutants, such as wood, and the new shoes with biodegradable insoles. id rather a secondhand dead animal, then something that will stay in a landfill forever. plus, you keep them useful and you pay charity not a furrier, its no good saving one animal, if you are sacrificing the entire ecosystem, is it? sorry for the rant, it just makes me mad that people seriously think they are helping, but they have faulty knowledge. and a celebrity cant be green. they can talk about it all they want, but fact is they live in huge homes which displaced hundreds of animals, and they fly all over the place, etc etc.
