1: IT’S JUST HAIR.
Sheep don’t just spring-up from the ether with a thick coat of wool to shear off. They must be bred. Raised. Reared. Fed. Watered. Grazed or confined. Modified. Tracked. Measured. Processed. Shipped. Slaughtered.  The amount of resources it takes to produce livestock isn’t something to brush off. In fact, livestock are the single greatest cause of the worst environmental problems. Worse than the transportation sector. With around 1 billion sheep worldwide, consider the mind-boggling impacts on land, water, air and energy. The United Nation FAO certainly does. - See more at: http://www.thediscerningbrute.com/2014/06/18/wool-steps-up-greenwashing-campaign/#sthash.5o07IQt2.dpuf

The wool industry has put a lot of money – and a royal patron – behind new efforts to convince people that wool is sustainable.  But let’s get one thing out of the way, right away, ok? Telling people wool is green by building a PR campaign around burying it and celebrating its biodegradability is like telling people that beef is green by burying it and celebrating its biodegradability.

Let’s put on our greewashing goggles and take a closer look at this. The glaring problem is that it’s not the sheep’s hair per se that’s the environmental and ethical disaster. Instead, it’s the inextricable raising-of-the-livestock part. But take those goggles off and just shhhh because the wool industry doesn’t want to talk about that.

At si rika kdo chce co chce tak to co jsem cetla je propadanda z druhe strany.Vlna je mnohem lepsi nez jaka koliv umelotina vyrobena z ropy .Kazdy slusny farmar se o sve ovce stara poradne a je pravda ze se necim musi proti moucham strikat ale to co pisi je stara metoda kterou dnes asi uz nikdo nepouziva. Ti extremesti vetsinou nemaji ani poneti o tom jak mouchou napadena ovce trpi a kdyz se neosetri tak uhyne .Zivot a Svet neni tak jednoduchy aby vse bylo bez problem .
