    I forgot my bags at the grocery store, so I told the clerk I’d like to buy one of their expensive plastic bags. She denied they had plastic bags anymore. I explained polyester. She was shocked.

    People have no clue. Nylon, PVC, PET, spandex, and the most insane, vegan leather. Turns out, polyurethane is not made out of vegans.
