rapchee@lemmy.world 13 hours agowe’ve (as human) been doing things for thousands of years, which was barely noticeable because there were less than a billion of us until the 1800s, less than 400 million until 1400s and the obvs even less before

My point was more that harmful chemicals in the sense of chromium salts etc. aren’t present in veg tan which, for the most part, is boiling it in a load of tree bark.

oh i completely misunderstood your comment, i didn’t see the “veg” before the tanning, so i thought your were writing about tanning in general
