I forgot my bags at the grocery store, so I told the clerk I’d like to buy one of their expensive plastic bags. She denied they had plastic bags anymore. I explained polyester. She was shocked.
People have no clue. Nylon, PVC, PET, spandex, and the most insane, vegan leather. Turns out, polyurethane is not made out of vegans.

“Vegan leather” is just so fucking funny. Especially when vegans praise it, and then you tell them that it’s literally just plastic.

Plastic is bad for the environment. Leather is worse. The most sustainable thing to do is to use neither.
