    That is some good science. I never understood how you can be Vegan and then choose plastic leather (pleather). Not harming animals is good, but harming the environment is ok? Seems crazy. This type of science fixes that paradox.

      you’re harming the environment way more by raising an cow, feeding it and then killing it than producing a thin layer of plastic either way

        Initially this sounds correct. However, plastic is a “forever” substance. So the long term disaster is the poisoning of the planet. That includes all living life being exposed to microplastics. This is not good for humans or animals.
