most vegans are very concerned about the environment as well. I am simply pointing out what goes into making a plastic leather saddle (petrochemicals, foam, heavy manufacturing electrical consumption and waste), and the subsequent garbage that results when said saddle is thrown away. At least with real leather saddles the entire thing is recyclable, the leather rots away with no harm to the earth, the steel rails are recycled into new steel or rust away (harmless).

by the way i'm vegetarian.
