Fashion!

Hygiene, cleanliness and clothing is necessary – not makeup and fashion. Harming the environment and being cruel to animals so that women can have plump lips, rosy lips and vanishing wrinkles is ugly, not pretty and cool (same goes for vain men who need more grease to fix their hair than the frying pans of America combined).

In the past we did not know better. Animals were killed for fur and other resources, harmful toxins were used in manufacturing, cruel animal testing was undertaken because just did not think that our environment and ecosystems were at risk. Today we know better and are aware of the impact on our surroundings. Of course people want to be trendy, fashionable, look good and cool, but there are many alternatives available today. There are many health and beauty product manufacturers that offer natural, eco-friendly and even animal testing/byproduct free products. There is a trend back towards natural and fair trade clothing and accessories as well. We can easily avoid furs and harmful products.

But we do need more laws against large companies that continue harmful practices as well as crackdown on poachers who illegally kill animals or fell trees to make medicines, dyes, black market pelts and furs etc.

When it comes to fashion, I say denim and flannel. Trendy, timeless and completely natural.

Most people have a very superficial view of a person. They are more likely to judge a person by his appearance than any other thing and clothes and accessories would be the first thing they notice. Notice it by all means but why stop there? Many find it difficult if not impossible to go beyond these.

^Agree, but we only get one chance to make a first impression, and regardless what everyone thinks or says it is the last impression. We live in a material world, where the traditional concepts of beauty is lost.
