Sofy B I am a veggie through conscience thanks for the suggestion though

On the other they are harming animals and contributing to Global warming, by using organic extracts from deforestation.

I can%26#039;t be angry because I don%26#039;t know which part of their environmental impact causes the greater damage, they are damned if they do and damned if they don%26#039;t. It%26#039;s hard to be apathetic about a ladies beauty product; I don%26#039;t want to wake up with my nose in a smelly armpit!

I would suggest all females used the Body Shop, but their products failed close scrutiny.

I think I will have to be labelled as resigned to the situation :0) 50% 2 Votes

• I heard about that, sent the email, and got a response. Apparently they%26#039;re doing something about it. But who knows. I was angry, but no more angry than I am at any other multinational corporation who crosses borders to mine resources with no concern to the impact on the environment or human well being all in the pursuit of a profit made from a product that could be produced closer to home in a more sustainable fashion. 0% 0 Votes
