Protecting biodiversity is an important part of maintaining the ecological balance. Therefore, many environmentalists advocate not buying animal-based products, such as molting. However, there are many things in real life that people do not know, and their raw materials are also incorporated into the "blood of animals."
"On average, 98% of animals are used by humans to make various products. Of the 98% of animals, 55% are used to make food, and the rest are made into inedible By-products," pointed out the Ontario Farm Animal Association.
1, plastic bags
Many plastic bags, including shopping bags, have a kind of anti-slip agent, which is used to prevent the plastic bag or the shopping bag from slipping off the handle. Do you know what it is used for? The answer is animal fat.
2, fireworks
Fireworks pollute the environment we all know, but what about the use of animal raw materials? Similarly, a substance called stearic acid is a material for making fireworks. Wikipedia explained: “The metal powder coating of fireworks is usually made of stearic acid, which has an antioxidant effect to extend the shelf life of fireworks. ."
3, biofuels
When we mention biofuels, we first think of corn and sugar cane, but in the past few years, biofuels based on animal fats have gradually become popular, and there are different options for using beef as raw material and chicken as raw material.
4, musical instruments
Animal glue is extracted from the animal's connective tissue and bones and is the best adhesive for fixing wooden musical instruments, including piano and violin.
Although other synthetic glues also have the same effect, animal glues are still widely used in furniture, musical instruments and various wood products.
5. Car or bicycle tires
Whether or not the food you eat contains meat can be seen on the ingredient list on the product, but it is a bit difficult to know if your bike uses animal ingredients. Here's a tip. You can contact the manufacturer and ask if they have added stearic acid to the tire. This is a substance that helps the tire keep its shape when it is rubbed. This material is derived from animals.
6, fabric softener
The fabric softener contains a tallow dimethyl ammonium chloride from cattle, sheep and horses. Of course, this will not be told in the advertisement of fabric softener.
7, shampoo and conditioner
According to the investigation of the International Organization for the Care of Animals (PETA), up to 20 ingredients in our shampoo and conditioner are extracted from animals, but the most confusing is when you When reading ingredients like “panthenolâ€, “amino acid†or “vitamin B,†you can't tell if it's from an animal or a plant. Some businesses even delete some of the added animal ingredients to avoid losing customers.
8, toothbrush
Glycerin exists in the fats of animals and plants. If glycerin is extracted, it can be made into a wide variety of daily necessities, including toothbrushes that we use every day.
For their own brand image, many brands claim that their products do not use animal raw materials, such as Colgate, but there is no such brand in the Pure Plant Product Guide.
9, white sugar and brown sugar
We know nothing about what is hidden in the production process of the product. Actually, there are bone ash of animal in the filter for extracting sugar, but there are other companies that use granular activated carbon and ion exchange system to filter, but consumers are The buyer can't tell.
PETA said that if it chooses unrefined organic sugar, or chooses PETA-recognized brands, it will be able to buy pure animal-free ingredients.
Therefore, it is not easy to be a person who does not harm animals at all. (Begonia)
