To help replace animal-based leather, researchers from
the Iowa State University have created a new plant-based leather made from
Kombucha: a popular fermented tea beverage to make shoes, belts, and other
products.
Vaute Couture, a New York vegan fashion label, just did
its first ever line of swimwear. The collection of one and two piece swimsuits
and other summer apparel are made from eco-conscious materials such as organic
cotton and recycled carpet fibers.
Michigan Pure Detroit Apparel Company has unveiled its
vegan collection of bags, wallets, purses, and handbags all made from recycled
seatbelts.
Wow! Several
Mexican snacks are considered vegan so keep eating them from elotes (corn) to
chamoyadas. Most of these snacks include fruits like mangos, papayas, pineapples,
strawberries, oranges, melons, jicamas, and cucumbers. Duros are another
vegan-friendly snack which are modeled after chicharrones (or fried pork skins),
but they are made from puffed wheat.
If you do not
want to become a vegan yet because it is too extreme for you, I encourage you
to support vegan companies and vegan snacks. With more demand comes more
supply. Any little help is important. Make sure to avoid cosmetics that were
tested on animals. You wouldn’t want your dog, hamster, or cat to suffer, would
you now? Thank you for your help.
