Is wool really cruel? On why vegans refuse to wear wool - the animal mistreatment and environmental destruction behind this commonly used material

How do we apply a philosophy of all-encompassing ethics to fashion? As a vegan, I started with animals - but then discovered other topics such as workers’ rights, feminism, and environmental destruction. Former model Emma Håkansson has made it her mission to spread her message of total ethics fashion - the intersection between the rights of animals, humans and the environment when it comes to the fashion industry. Her organisation Collective Fashion Justice works to promote a new fashion system which is just, solution-focused, and fair for all. In this episode, I talk to Emma about her journey in the fashion industry, how she works to raise awareness of why we need total ethics fashion, and how mentalities are shifting when it comes to using animals for clothing. Plus, more about her book, How Veganism Can Save Us!
