Why would anyone want something that isn’t cruelty free? By that I am referring to “factory farming”… which probably isn’t good for the environment either. In addition to the claims of farming ANY animal makes a bigger carbon footprint than veggie crops. So glad there are vegan manufacturers who use things other than leather and PVC, things like bamboo, linen, organic cotton, and recycled materials.

Terra Plana is now making their shoes with “E-leather” which is a fiber and leather composite that is not polluting. Not sure of the animal cruelty factor though.

But what’s so “green” about leather – is it cruelty free? I often don’t see any mention of that on these “green” sites. Animals are part of the environment too, especially the way they are farmed.
