Hey there! I have been vegetarian for years now, moving gradually towards veganism in the last year or so. I finally got the last piece of information I needed to dissolve all my remaining cognitive dissonance and have decided to commit fully.
My question is, what do I do with the products I’ve accumulated that are not vegan now? I specifically mean non cruelty-free cosmetics and animal product clothing items. Im leaning towards using them up/wearing them out rather than dispose and have them sit in landfill or be destroyed, but I want to get some more input on this. Did you go through a similar process? Where did you land?
Please be kind/gentle, I’ve had a very rough night down an information rabbit hole (a lot of crying!) and am feeling fragile.
