"[M]eeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”

A PieFed commuity dedicated to promoting sustainability and sustainable development.

For discussion of environmental, climate, clean energy, social, political, and individual action. A place for news, education, questions, and discussions.

Rules:

  1. Don't be a dick.
  2. If it fits an UN Sustainable Development Goal, it's probably welcome.
  3. Links to articles should leverage the original article title. Minor edits in [square brackets] for clarity/to reduce clickbait are probably fine.
  4. We all know corporations & governments are the main problem, and collective action + legislation is the best path forward. That said, someone needs to show support for a more sustainable market - to that end, discussion of individual action is encouraged, and "whatabout big oil" comments in posts about individual action may be removed with prejudice. You're not wrong, but see rule 1.

Not really a rule per se, more of a request: if the article has "Trump" or "Musk" in the title, consider posting it in a USA/Political community to help keep this space focused on sustainability over clickbait political headlines. Political posts are allowed, but discussion should prioritize policies over personalities.

Have they finally made it so it will not just disntegrate in 2 or 3 years on its own like the fake leather now doess?

Cork leather is likely what you want, at least it's available already.

My cork leather belt has lasted easily three times as long as my faux leather belts before that, and it's the buckle that crapped out in the end.

Yeah I've gotten about 6 years out of mine so far and it's still holding up.
