Nike to replace kangaroo leather with plant-based leather

Nike to replace kangaroo leather with plant-based leather
Nike recently made a noteworthy announcement that they have discontinued the use of kangaroo leather in their production, and have opted for a Nike-exclusive synthetic leather as a substitute. While this decision may be celebrated for its positive impact on animal rights, it is debatable whether it constitutes an environmental improvement. 

 As one of the biggest players in the fashion industry, Nike bears a responsibility towards our planet and environment. A mere replacement of kangaroo leather with a plastic-infused alternative will not suffice, and Nike must do better. 

Fortunately, they have a remarkable opportunity to prioritize sustainability by transitioning to plant-based leather alternatives. Mycelium, pineapple, mango, cork, apple, and various other sustainable plant-leather options are readily available and of excellent quality. 

It is essential that we advocate for Nike to make the switch to plant-based leather. The abundance of exceptional alternatives in the market leaves no room for excuses when it comes to doing better for the planet and its inhabitants.

Suggested phone script

Hello, my name is [name].
I am glad to hear that Nike has recently decided to stop using kangaroo leather in their products. This is a great opportunity to replace kangaroo leather with sustainable plant leather, instead of plastic materials that will only further damage the planet. As one of the leading fashion companies in the world I expect Nike to do better. Please pass this message onto the Senior Director of Product, Lara Daniels and Product Development Manager, Ryan Ficek.
Thank you for your time. Have a good day.
