      Tanning is very polluting. Even throwing away the hides is better for the environment than tanning them.

      But the bigger issue is the amount of environmental destruction beef farming has on the planet. Why don’t we stop that instead?

      Well meat farms produce a lot of methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas, so reducing any kind of demand from a ranch is probably better than nothing. That said, I thought the leather used for iPhones weren’t from animals we’d traditionally use for eating. Moleskin or something?

      Not a waste product, they rely on the profits of everything, it’s a product just as much as meat is and slowling demand for it is good.
