“You can buy clothing that is made anywhere in

“We’re paying a little bit more for our clothing,

products are made, who makes them and the message
being conveyed, as opposed to the name on the label.
“The environmental impact of
animal agriculture is astronomical,”

affected. And, there's animals
suffering every day for a quick bite.”
