Takeaways

The fashion industry faces a dilemma regarding vegan fashion, as it may be vegan but not necessarily ethical.

There is a need to consider the entire ethical process of how products are made and consumed.

Using the word 'vegan' is important to negate negative associations and promote a modern and inclusive image of veganism.

Veganism is not just about dietary choices, but also about taking action and making a positive impact in various ways.

There is a need to go beyond surface-level veganism and actively support animal shelters and other activism efforts.

Collaboration and collective impact are crucial in creating meaningful change.

Finding common ground and overcoming conflict is essential for progress.

Issues such as veganism, animal rights, and the patriarchy are interconnected and should be addressed holistically.
