There is a huge problem of logic involved and my brain is too small to resolve it:Hi mkm,
Like you I think leather is aesthetically pleasing.
However, the use of the pejorative term "plastic" is misleading in this context. The "leather" used in Mercedes is made from mushroom mycelia reinforced with bamboo fibres. It is not made from oil.
1. Cattle, sheep, goats etc are not native therefore they are feral animals in Australia
2. We eradicate other feral animals to protect the environment for native animals ie feral rabbits, foxes, cats, dogs etc;
3. Do we therefore slaughter all domestic animals to appease vegan sensibilities.
4. Do we let them die of old age but prevent them from breeding somehow.
5. Do we eat them till they run out.
6. Do we send them back to their countries of origin.
7. If their numbers are the problem it is because of the size of the market should we therefore cull humans to reduce demand and bring the system back into balance.
8. Is it sensible to waste any part of a food source when scarce resources have been consumed to produce the food.
9. Is using an alternative such as mushrooms definitely not producing more of some offending chemical if you produce at sufficient scale to supply the leather substitute for every vehicle and piece of furniture that would have been leather in the world.
10. Would the production of mushrooms at the required scale for this purpose lead to scarcity of protein necessary for maintaining good health and reduce the production of other necessary agricultural products and use too much water etc;
So many questions???
