    Well plant matter could ultimately turn into coal in millions of years' time so best get rid of them now.

      To be fair those plants and Chelsea aren't environmentally friendly.

      But tights, leggings, hair dye and paint tend to made from oil.

        Aren't hair dye and paint mostly water-based these days? I'm sure the hippies use natural plant extracts

          What like palm oil - which is sooooo environmentally friendly...

          Also even if the products are water-based how to they get to the shops? Not by bike.

            The invention of plastic and oil was largely responsible for preventing the extinction of turtles (tortoiseshell) and whales.

            Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

              And gave all sea creatures something that is inedible to ingest!

                Swings and roundabouts. The point is that in and of itself oil is not a bad thing. Environmentally it's generally a good thing outside of it being used for energy. Which is why we need to use nuclear power whose enivomental damaging footprint is SO much smaller than coal, oil or gas.

                  You can make your own dyes and paints from plants you harvest yourself. One might learn which by attending a famous flower show.

                    well the two ladies seem to have strongly dyed /bleached hair - one of the major ingredients in hair dye is paraffin or similar oils ammonia or similar come from oil driven processes.

                    To be fair to swampy he was always dressed in sack cloth and never washed so he was at least living the dream.
                    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
