There are a lot of times I feel like just…flipping the vegan script.

It’s not ‘polyester’ it’s plastic

It’s not ‘vegan leather’ it’s plastic

Its not ‘faux fur’ it’s plastic

Plastic is a pollutant and causes far more damage to the environment both now and in the future than leather or wool.

Please stop telling me that the Plastic Lyfe is the only life, it is not. My leather shoes will last a decade where pleather is lucky to last 12 months. Leather (and wool) decompose and are renewable. Plastic is neither of those.

THANK YOUUUUUUU~

and that is without even mentioning how:

• using the hide of a (bred for meat) carcass is less wasteful

• sheep need to be sheared or they are at risk of a long and distressing death due to heatstroke

Fake leather also tends to rot VERY QUICKLY even just packed up in storage where as the real thing can last for decades of everyday use if it’s was properly cured and treated.
