Vegans: Questions about wearing leather?

Ok I really try not to wear ANY animals at all and my thing is about leather like wheter its handbags or shoes ……
What if its vintage leather from like 1970’s etc. or something still wrong ?
I want to be a true vegan and have my morla and ethics match up and yet i dont want to be stuck wearing things that are not attractive if you know what i mean…….
My style is vintage things as apposed to buying new stuff all the time when you can get real cool clothes just the same from vintage stores and what not…….
What if you were say to travel to Europe ( Paris as an example) and you go shopping at there famed vintage stores and see amazing things you love but then notice how there made out of leather and you stop to think ……
What should you do ?

I’m looking for some hemp sandals that are like these Ecocross sandals?

I’m looking for some sandals that look like these – http://www.rawganique.com/graphics/footwear/ecocrossM.jpg They are Unisex EcoCross 100% Hemp Sandals. I found them here – http://www.rawganique.com/footwear2.htm But they are all out of my shoe size. I wear a womens size 8 or 8 1/2. The site with these shoes only has womens 6 to 7 sizes. Are there any shoes out there that are like these ones?
I like the big straps on them and the colors. I want something that goes around the back of my foot like these ones do. It’d be cool if they were made out of hemp or something that’s eco friendly, but they don’t have to be.
Thanks for all your help 🙂

I Need Help With These DispoSe Garbage Journal- My English Is Not That Well… ASAP! 10PNTS?

The best way we can dispose of our garbage is by using bags made of natural materials and reusing them to carry our groceries. Reclining any product we can such as paper, metal, glass, plastic and plants materials give us a healthy environment. Using a good alternative is helpful in this cases. Landfill are actually healthy ways to dispose of certain waste products. My building is build with garbage chutes on every floor carefully and tightly we package our trash to dispose them.

I decided last Tuesday to take out those clothes I won’t use anymore in my closet. My house has a closet for extra storage space, something that benefits us greatly because we keep extras stuff though not used now, but in the future. Now we enter spring I need to rid of of those unused clothes I won’t wear anymore for now on In order to have more space and void bad smell in my closet. Before deciding what to do with them I went to the laundry to have them clean and ready to be pack.My coats and jackets always give me a problem since I can’t have them all together tend to smell bad specially when it rain,so are the one that first go out of my closet. If they still usable, then I donate them to any charity home for a good cause instead of throw it away. After I separate my clothes according to their type. I First started with my pants since they are too heavy and use a lot of space in my closet. Most of the time I don’t keep my sweater so I prefer to give them away as they tend to succeed or wasted with time, but those who choose to keep are held in my drawer. The shoes are very hard to keep as are used tend to smell bad all together if plan to give them away. Although shoe boxes are a lot of space I always keep them for this kind of situation.

On friday I always go to the supermarket to buy some food and personal things. I bring own bag to purchase groceries. It’s simple one to reduce resin waste. When I purchased hair color, each package included a container, a brush, gloves manufactured by resin. It’s one time used because I can obtain a same one for net purchase. Buying products with as little packaging as possible, of course from eco–friendly companies save us time, money and space. When came home went to the kitchen. What I first did was to check the refrigerator since there its where my mom put a lot of unused stuff that we tipically have to throw away often. There were two expired meat so I put them together in a newspaper to avoid contamination. Two Water and juicy leave empty to prevent any liquid in the trash. Usually I disposed 5 or 6 can of soda per week. I separate them from the other item in a bag as there are many people who use them to get money to eat or etc. When I took there where a lot of sausage,bean cans, and corn 5 of each, I was suprised since it made me realize how much money we waste on things that most of the time we don’t use.
Sunday was the day to clean my room! I Spent a few hours taking out everything from my drawers, organizing, and throwing out what I no longer needed to dispose any old and unused materials. I opened the window for ventilation, specially my bedroom that is so hot! I always started using my eletric broom to make sure that I don’t leave anything under the bed. Since I work in a retail store I’m always buying new stuff such as clothes, accesories, gum and etc.. I used this kind of days to throw away those that expired or if not need it anymore. I put in a small bag two rings and three watches to dispose them away. My niece have a lot of toys of her in my bedroom. I refuse to throw toys in the trash because it wastes my money and because it’s definitely not good for the environment as it sits in the landfill when it could have been recycled/reused. But I need space in my bedroom and kids are always asking for more. So I had to throw away 3 of them.

Recycling is a truly over-rated way to improve the environment. There is a great underestimation of the available space and capacity of landfill areas, certainly in the US, and probably worldwide as well. There is also no real crisis in our most recycled resources, either aluminum and glass are still cheap to produce, and there are still enough trees around to make paper cheaper from the tree than by recycling.The stuff in the trash gets buried deep in a landfill in an anaerobic environment, and so does not decay. The stuff you toss down the disposal gets ground down and flushed away, where it can go back into the environment.

(UK) What would you do if you were to become prime minster? I would:?

•Get the army out of Iraq, Afghanistan and anywhere else there is a war I will stop it which will also save money as well
•Tax the middle class people more and stop footballers and celebs getting paid so much
•If your under 20 bus fare is free all around England but adults will only have to pay 45p, you would only need to pay 50p for tubes and DLR if you are under 20, 70p if you are over 21, 40p if you are old and disabled. + all buses to be double deckers
•For teachers, TA’s, care workers, supporters, people working with disabled children and in old peoples homes, fire men, police, ambulance people, nurses, doctors, GP’s to get paid more, maybe twice as more then they get now.
•Create more jobs for people like opening up more care homes, leisure centres, youth centres, cinemas, arcades (these games places they have in America), shopping centres, factory work and many more things
•University fees to be £900 instead of £9000 so basically make it more cheaper
•Get rid of a lot of illegal and foreign people as there is no space/control the amount of people who gets through to come to England/make boarder secure to stop too much people coming in
•Create more family size homes for people who need it
•Take away VAT and make clothes, shoes, toiletries, electrical and food cheaper.
•Only allow people to get married at the age of 21 (because it’s too young under this age)
•No one under 19 can get pregnant if they do then they should have an abortion or pay a fine, basically no teenage pregnancies because its too young and you need a education and career first before you have kids
•Make England more eco–friendly
•People can have no more then 4 kids as if there are too many people in England then it isn’t good as England would be over crowded in the next 10 years I don’t want that to happen.

what would u do?
