Here is a new topic:
I have been a vegetarian for four years, and am now preparing to rid myself
of animal products in areas other than eating. Over the years I have
gradually eliminated leather clothing and footwear from my wardrobe, but I
am still dependent on toiletries (e.g. soap, shampoo, shaving cream) derived
from animal sources. I have done a somewhat extensive literature search on
organizations which produce or sell products (cosmetics, toiletries,
clothing, luggage, footwear, etc) which are free of animal derivatives and
are not tested on animals. I was pleased to find that there is more help
available out there than I had realized. Recently (about a week ago), I
mailed out letters asking for information from the various suppliers I have
managed to learn about. I will gladly share my findings with anyone who is
interested.
While awaiting responses in the mail, I wonder if anyone has already taken
this step, and would like to give advice, hints, pointers on how to go about
it.
