Initially this sounds correct. However, plastic is a “forever” substance. So the long term disaster is the poisoning of the planet. That includes all living life being exposed to microplastics. This is not good for humans or animals.

But TBH veganism isn’t necessarily an environmental movement. There’s often overlap, but nothing about being ethically opposed to farming and killing animals means one is more environmentally conscious.

True. Veganism is not an environmental movement, however, not eating animals is a huge environmental improvement.
