British fashion house Stella McCartney, with the help of young people, is bringing attention to animal rights issues. In honor of Earth Day, the brand asked students in London, Paris and Milan to take to the streets in support of cruelty-free fashion. The marches, led by a demographic that often spearheads climate protests, were not only characterized by the age of the participants but the Stella McCartney attire worn by them, integrating their causes.

British fashion house Stella McCartney is deepening house ties to environmental causes per the latest campaign slot accompanying the brand's most environmentally-friendly collection. The luxury brand highlighted the animal rights advocacy of The Gentle Barn animal sanctuary, featuring the rescued animals in the campaign alongside American actor Madelyn Cline – star of Netflix’s Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery movie and the show Outer Banks. With the direction of American photographer Theo Wenner, the visuals of the summer 2023 collection were created on-site at the sanctuary in Santa Clarita, California, showcasing the sustainable pieces and eco-innovations of the line-up. "Just because we have always done something a certain way, does not mean that we should continue doing it," said Ellie Laks, founder of The Gentle Barn, Santa Clarita.

As of Jan. 1, 2023, California is the first state in the United States where a state-wide ban on fur is now active. Signed into law on Oct. 12, 2019, by Governor Gavin Newsom, Assembly Bill 44 prohibits the sale, donation or production of new fur items within the state. Effective starting this year, the legislation was authored by Laura Friedman of the state's 44th Assembly District.

If you plan on celebrating Thanksgiving, it can be tough to even visualize a sustainable holiday. Visions of turkeys in the middle of the table, mass-produced ingredients, and plastic tablecloths tend to come to mind. It doesn’t have to be that way though, and if you are celebrating, there is no reason to give up your sustainable lifestyle for its sake. There are so many ways to have a sustainable gathering, so here is your guide to a sustainable Thanksgiving: Let’s be real: everyone’s favorite

My parents met working in Yellowstone in the early 1990s. So, when they started having kids a few years later, we were always camping. My earliest memories are in the woods, in tents, and around fires. I was hiking before I could even walk (courtesy of my mother and father carrying me, even in the heat of summer). Camping is in my blood, and it shaped the way I see the world today. Nature is home- not a vacation from it, and because of this mindset, I always feel most myself while camping. When

As a Norwegian and Danish person, the biggest challenge of becoming a vegan was losing my heritage. I thought that if I cut out animal products, I wouldn’t be able to eat the way my family fed me, or the way my ancestors fed themselves. Like most people, I was told my whole life that Norsemen ate a meat-heavy diet. I pictured huge men around fires eating spits of salmon during long winters. It wasn’t until I did a semester-long research project on the topic that I realized that Vikings were a l

When you first give up animal products, it can be hard to know not only what to replace them with, but which of those actually taste good. So many people give up at the beginning, because they think that vegan alternatives are bad. Many mainstream grocery stores carry the cheapest or most processed options, and those aren’t generally the best. While it’s great that these alternatives are becoming more accessible, it can be helpful to know which ones actually taste the best. The truth is, the bes

Sharks have been around for 400 million years. Yet each year, 100 million of them are being wiped out due to human activities. Some species have dropped by as much as 99%, and due to the fact that they only have a few pups at a time, and take a while to sexually mature, their situation is a dire one. They are an extremely vulnerable population. People have come to associate sharks with fear since childhood, due to a lack of education about them, anthropocentric language, and the media industry

SEATTLE — A fact little acknowledged in the human world, the prosperity of mankind is intertwined with the prosperity of wildlife and the animal kingdom. While overpopulation rates have skyrocketed in the past century, so have animal extinctions. Overpopulation is plaguing developing countries, and new problems are being faced in nature. The depletion of water supplies, deforestation, imbalance in ecosystems, natural disasters, lack of resources and animal extinctions all have dangerous and cos

Sharks have become increasingly feared throughout the years. In 2017, more people were recorded being afraid of the animal than they were of death. Thanks to movies with ominous music preceding the creature’s appearance on screen, extensive media coverage of the few shark encounters, rather than the more extensive dog bites and lightning strikes, people are associating fear with sharks more and more. The marine animal is on more people’s minds now than gang violence, illegal immigration, or dr

Every winter, it is an extremely popular pastime to go to reindeer farms and petting zoos. People want to get in the festive mood, and reindeer are a magic symbol of the holidays for many. The truth is however, the lives of these reindeer is not at all magical. In fact, it’s a painful and miserable existence—even at small farms. This is in part due to the seasonal and impermanent nature of their presence, and in part due to the fact that most don’t realize what’s happening and so it’s easy and c

While veganism is growing with each year, it is also facing fiercer resistance than ever before. Critics try to falsely claim that it isn’t better for the planet or that it’s impossible to be healthy on a vegan diet, but that is no longer an option for them since the science says otherwise time and time again. Now, they are clapping back with an argument disguised as “wokeness” in the attempt to discredit the philosophy and diet, claiming that the diet should instead be called “white veganism” b
