Fur Coats Eco-Friendly . . . ?
An advert saying that fur is eco-friendly has been banned by an advertising watchdog because it says the ad is misleading. The fur breeders claim that because the fur is a natural product that lasts a lifetime and is biodegradable, they can promote their products as eco-friendly.
Completely misleading
For starters, the chemicals they treat the fur with to preserve and protect it cancel out any eco-benefits they claim exist. Then there’s the environmental damage caused by their farming methods that make their products far from carbon-neutral not to mention the number of animals that the’re taking out of the eco-system to kill and profit from. But apart from that the fur farmers say that a fur coat will last up to thirty years but can you imagine how matted and manky it would be after being worn by a human for so long.
Anyway, most people who wear fur wouldn’t keep a fashion item for that long. They’d be onto the next design within a year or two and last year’s furry accessory would be discarded without another thought.
Nice try. I’ll give them that.

They never give up, do they?

Jose! My dear friend. How are you? I have neglected this place. I hope you and your loved ones are well.
No, they don’t give up. Too much to lose I guess…and it’s all worth nothing in the long run.

Terrible, terrible attempt. Nobody is stupid enough to believe that, except maybe those ardent fur-wearers who would like to justify their fashion statement and even they don’t really buy it.

It simply beggars belief that anyone would ever think that is a good idea! Terrible idea.

With the threat of global warming looming large, more and more people are switching over to energy-efficient appliances and environmentally-friendly products. Offices are large consumers of furniture and in keeping with the green revolution it is important that office furniture should be eco-friendly. The primary concerns to be considered when choosing eco-friendly office furniture are the choice of wood and the chemicals involved in the manufacture of the furniture.”
