Media and the Environment

I agree that pleather is not really a better option to leather from an environmental perspective.

However, I’d take your argument a bit further and call all plastic poison. Last week, I went to hear a couple people speak about their recent studies in the Pacific, where there is a “plastic soup” covering an area that’s twice the size of the US and growing.

The only way to deal with this growing problem is an outright ban on single use plastic containers. Recycling is not enough, since plastic is really down-cycled and eventually ends up in a landfill to break down over a thousand years.

They made a point that plastic is an example of a non-choice for the consumer, since it’s in everything and only about 5% of it is ever down-cycled anyway.. The only way to truly address the plastic junk problem is an outright ban on the use of plastic for the production of certain products.

Yes, because if there is anyone adequately qualified to speak about the nuance of ethical animal treatment it is a washed-up marginally attractive porn actress.
