I find silk-cotton blend clothes more comfortable/better suited to summer weather than any other fabric I’ve tried. I’ve previously not thought about insect suffering seriously but a comment by a friend led me to think that maybe I should—does anyone have an idea of what oom silkworm suffering for silk production is/how much I should be expecting to pay in suffering offsets to balance it out?
Some relevant numbers in this article: https://reducing-suffering.org/insect-suffering-silk-shellac-carmine-insect-products/
Thanks, suffering levels seem sufficiently ambiguous that I’ll just avoid silk for now.
