Well, considering I'm a stark environmentalist, I purchase plant-based clothing, or recycle/thrift otherwise. Yarn is made from cotton and is extremely easily found.
I try my best to eat locally grown and organic plants, and yes, GMO or non-organic soy is out of the question for me because of how sensitive the plant is to any tampering.
Being vegan for me, is about making the best choice possible. When I lived with my parents, being a strict vegetarian was the best option for me under the circumstances I was. I encourage people (my own boyfriend, for example) to eat organic, healthy and lean meats, because I know that a dramatic lifestlye change is not nearly as plausable for some people as it was for me.
Again, best decision peossible, and it's a good idea to look into the health benefits of cutting dairy and meat to a minimum and increasing your intake of plant-based foods - we're all aware that it's good for us. :)
Lastly, no one has the right to tell you whether you're a bad or a good vegetarian/vegan. It is YOUR personal decision and you are to make the decisions you are comfortable with.
