> Anyone could always be doing more but doing anything beats doing nothing at all.
That's a common misconception though.
US top the charts for meat consumption in the World, Kenya and Uganda are at the bottom.
Does it mean Kenya and Uganda are doing more than US?
I'm asking, because I don't have the answer, but I don't think that farming animals for fur amounts to some significant number and stopping it would change the situation in a meaningful way.
Energy consumption for example is a good indicator of lifestyle.
Norway consumes 3 times on average the average amount of energy consumed by all the other European countries.
Does that mean they are doing three times less than the average EU country?
Oil stayed with us because it's a very dense and easy to transport energy source.
You can' t transport wind or sun, you could use batteries, but they are not as dense and not as easy to stock pile.
Inertia, if you look closely, it's just another world for "lack of equally good alternatives".
The lack of durable clothing is not a direct consequence of not using vegetable materials, hemp has been used for millenia, what changed is that we buy a lot more clothes and recycle/reuse very little of them.
Because, mainly, they go out of fashion!
I believe the way we live has a much bigger impact than anything else and in that regard, even if I would never buy a fur for obvious reasons, I think fur farming is not the worst offender.
