had this to say:

And without cattle there'd be no leather so that would mean oil based
plastic substitutes for footwear, clothing and furniture.

Footwear - wooden clogs.

Or sneakers made of rubber and cotton.

Clothing - cotton, wool or linen.

Mine is mostly anyway.

Furniture - wood and possibly cotton and/or wool.


no need for animal stuff in furniture at all. Leather is the exception.

Horsehair is useful tho.


Of course, not all 'plastic' stuff is oil-based - think bakelite.

Mind if I dont'? :-)
