    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.

      1. 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

      2. Leather is not necessarily a byproduct but a coproduct.
