Fur is a renewable and sustainable resource. The production of polyester and other manmade synthetic alternatives contributes to greenhouse gasses and climate change. So put on a fur coat next time you get behind the wheel of that Tesla.

Seriously though, any chance that fact will rekindle the fur industry? If these people really believe climate change is going to wipe out the earth in 12 years and will stop at nothing to prevent that, could they look past the horrors of trapping cute little animals to save the world?

Some of these people would eat their own crap if someone told them it reduced their carbon footprint.

I am all for reducing waste , but I don't need a chainsaw that saves a pint a year , but burns up lean and needs replacing. my saw could guzzle gas and still be saving major gallons.
wood took me from 750 gallons of #2 to 200 a year 550 gallons of #2 us saved by the burning of about 7 gallons of gas.

I think you answered your own question. There is no changing these hard left morons.
The Renewable Resource argument is valid though, because it is true. It should make sense to those who are open to things that can actually help.

They won’t hear the fur part, just that we agree with them petroleum is bad.

Green,
Your logic sounds like a liberal to me. You saved #2 fuel by burning wood ignoring the carbon footprint of the wood burned. It's like driving an electric car and pretending you are not using any energy.

you are ignoring the fact that burning wood is carbon neutral.

Not quite. Wood produces the same carbon by the decomposition process over a longer period of time as it does being burned. Processing and heating with firewood, if done in an environmentally friendly manner also eliminates the need for a fuel guzzling delivery truck travelling out to the country on a regular basis.

Bernie is correct.
The Keystone pipeline cancellation was on the news last night. I'm sure some of you watched. When finished it would be zero carbon emissions for transporting crude.
China Joe killed it because liberals stare straight ahead.
Now it will all be transported by truck or train.

Real fur is way more sustainable, it’s not even a debate.

I see way less fur being worn in rural areas than urban ones though. Just an observation on who is wearing it, besides China.

Agreed. Also, wood ashes are a substitute for lime in a garden.

That's my neighbor. He spends ridiculous amounts of time driving all over the county scrounging for free wood so he can save a few bucks running his heat pump each year. He doesn't do this for environmental reasons, but because he thinks its saving him money. He thinks free wood = free heat. If only he had the wits to factor in everything he spends on chainsaws, gasoline, wear and tear on his truck, and all his time, he would realize that he has the most expensive heating system in the neighborhood.
