Simple Steps to a Healthy Lifestyle

Its amazing to realize how much power large numbers of consumers and activists can have to modify the business practice of a large company.  Case in point is Zappos.  You may recall in my last post that I was horrified to learn that Zappos sold real-fur products on their web site.  Thankfully, I was recently notified that Zappos has discontinued this practice and will no longer support the real-fur trade!  Check online for yourself and be ecstatic that with significant pressure by enough activisits, change can be achieved! 

Let’s increase our pressure at Bluefly to achieve the same results.  Look at the picture below for a $2396.00 coat Bluefly is selling: it has a REAL Fox trimmed hood and Fox center front.  I am urging everyone to please send an email to the company stating you will not support their business because they sell real-fur to flyrep@bluefly.com.   Again…the continuous pressure by a significant amount of people will force these companies to reexamine their business model and modify their practices.
