MODERATORS
Vegans avoid animal products outside food too?
Depending on the reason for being vegan.
For animal rights/ethics, yes.
For health/climate, potentially less so.
Genuine question: Is avoiding leather really that great? Leather seems much more durable than plastic, and its from a part of the animal thats really just thrown away anyway.
making the leather is a horrible process, making skin into the product you know requires a lot of chemicals that aren't great for the environment
Leather is not necessarily a byproduct but a coproduct.
Thanks for answering!
For the environment thing, would making leather clothes be worse than making plastic clothes?
