<\/a><\/p>\n Whenever I talk about vegan alternatives to leather<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>, I feel like I get a lot of pushback. Leather is a natural material, so it must be eco-friendly, right? I feel like that argument fails on many levels, and the video below is just one example of how unnatural the leather industry really is.<\/p>\n Petroleum-based leather alternatives are not the greenest fabric, I totally agree. But the leather industry is not a better option. Here are a few reasons that leather is bad for the environment<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>:<\/p>\n The video below is pretty graphic.
