written for good on you
Good On You is an app and website which help people to shop more ethically.
Providing ratings for fashion brands, and information on different materials and elements of the industry, they work to empower consumers through transparency of information.
I’ve written for them, and will write for you too, if you ask.
GOOD ON YOU:
IS LEATHER A BY-PRODUCT OF THE MEAT INDUSTRY?
‘The assumption that follows the promotion of so-called “ethically sourced, by-product leather” is that in buying it, you’re reducing waste and not financially supporting the slaughter industry which it comes from. But is this accurate?’
GOOD ON YOU:
The human rights issues behind fashion’s animal supply chains
‘When we talk about the ethics of wearing leather, wool, cashmere, silk, and other animal-derived materials, usually, we think of the animals those materials are made of—as we should. However, humans working in fashion’s animal supply chains are often harmed far more than we may first realise.’
GOOD ON YOU:
Material Guide: How sustainable and Ethical is Wool?
‘It seems as though the wool industry is mutually beneficial: sheep are cared for, we get warm woolly clothes. Win-win, right? Unfortunately, the reality is far more complex.’
