Depends on the faux leather. There absolutely are alternatives to leather that are less environmentally taxing than leather. Leather needs to be cured, for example, and the entire leather production process is very water-intensive and involves a lot of nasty chemicals. So apart from using a dead animal’s skin to wear, it’s also abysmal for the environment.

You’re right about the leather processing. I didn’t consider that.

I heard there’s a new mushroom-based leather alternative that will hopefully get traction.
