Cashmere
Cashmere comes from the wool of thousands of goats raised in NE China in Mongolia on the edge of the Gobi. It’s 100% natural and cruelty free but the demand for cashmere has increased and as a result so have the number of goats to keep up with the demand. But these goats are big eaters and they are so ravenous that they’ve turned a lot of the large chinese grasslands in Mongolia into deserts and as a result have unleashed some of the worst dust storms on record – choking the residents of Beijing and blocking out the sun.
SOLUTION:
You can help by reducing the demand for wool by buying alternate materials or by buying wool from Alpaca goats.
