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~

A single wash cycle of plastic-based fiber (polyester, poly fleece, faux fur) may release 700,000 pieces of microplastic into our waters. Nasty stuff.

aw dangit

Wool is the most environmentally friendly fabric despite being an animal product.

Decomposed plastic–which takes about 500 years, by the way–is believed to turn into toxic dust. As in if you breathe it, it’ll poison you.

But hey! No animals were sheared in the making of it, amirite????

Also wool can be harvested without hurting sheep, don’t they… Need to be sheared?

Domestic sheep do, yeah. In domestication they were bred so they don’t shed on their own like wild sheep do. Behold: Shrek the sheep, who avoided shearing for years
