1000 Flowers for the Planet - #582 Choose Alpaca
In light of pressures on the environment created by
demand for cashmere (Flower #581) this Flower suggest you choose alpaca
instead. Alpacas, a South American animal, have become a modern farming choice
in many countries around the world. The animals are easy to care for and provide
a beautiful soft fibre that is pleasant to wear. Alpaca farming is popular, and
as the yield from an alpaca is greater than cashmere, the product is less
expensive and more readily obtained.
Still, when
making your purchasing choices, ensure the fibre has come from responsible
farming practices with animal welfare the main concern.
