Researchers from Imperial College London have developed a microbe that has been genetically modified to grow into what amounts to a leather-like material that can even dye itself according to spec.

Professor Tom Ellis of the Imperial College London’s Department of Bioengineering, and lead researcher, said of the discovery, “Inventing a new, faster way to produce sustainable, self-dyed leather alternatives is a significant achievement for synthetic biology and sustainable fashion. Bacterial cellulose is inherently vegan, and its growth requires a tiny fraction of the carbon emissions, water, land use, and time of farming cows for leather.”

Excerpt from www.techexplorist.com

Researchers at Imperial College London have created an innovative way to make leather devoid of plastic and animal exploitation. Thanks to genetically modified microbes, this leather also dyes itself—a first in the field.

The fashion industry has always relied extensively on artificial chemical dyes, which are especially hazardous when producing black leather. The Imperial team sought to use biological techniques to overcome this problem.

Their invention provides a remedy for the damage dyeing methods do to the environment. Prototypes of shoes and wallets showcasing the vegan leather that dyes itself represent a significant sustainable advancement.

This process might produce materials with a broader range of colors and patterns, providing more environmentally friendly options for materials like cashmere and cotton.

Under the guise of protesting the fate of Palestinians in the Gaza War, George Soros and unknown international donors have been funding armies of “protestors” who are being placed to intentionally disrupt economic stability in major American cities. It appears to be a coordinated attack intended to further destabilize the United States of America. The main coordinator of the assault appears to by A15 Action, a recently declared organization created to “coordinate a multi-city economic blockade on April 15 in solidarity with Palestine.” The organization also offers money to protestors for bail and legal defense. This organization is tied to numerous dark money groups, including George Soros’ Open Society. Excerpt from freebeacon.com Scores of “Free Palestine” protesters across the United States took to the streets Monday to block major airports, highways, and bridges. Those who are arrested will receive bail money and legal support from a left-wing dark money behemoth funded by George Soros, an online fundraising page shows. The protests, which took place in dozens of U.S. cities including San Francisco, Chicago, New York City, and Philadelphia, were organized by A15 Action, a newly formed group that worked to “coordinate a multi-city economic blockade on April 15 in solidarity with Palestine.” The group’s website directs users to a “bail and legal defense fund” hosted through ActBlue, the Democratic Party’s online fundraising juggernaut. Those who donate to the fund, the ActBlue page says, are sending money to the Community Justice Exchange, which provides “money bail, court fees and fines” and other legal services to “community-based organizations … that contest the current operation and function of the criminal legal and immigration detention systems.” The exchange is a project of the Tides Center, a left-wing dark money network funded by Soros and other liberal billionaires. The protesters, who organized the global event under the title A15, targeted economic “choke points” with the express purpose of causing as much financial disruption as possible, according to their website… Ahead of the protests, A15 said it identified “major choke points in the economy” that it would “blockade” to “cause pain.” The group listed more than 50 participating cities, including Chicago, where dozens of protesters shut down access to the O’Hare International Airport for nearly an hour, forcing some travelers to walk with their luggage to the airport…. A15’s “mutual solidarity agreement” outlines ways in which protesters are expected to “act in solidarity with each other in the face of attacks from the media, politicians and the police and the Zionist project.” Activists are encouraged to avoid talking to police and are not to “discourage or denounce each others [sic] plans because solidarity means affinity, not ownership.” “If one city faces police repression, other cities will extend or expand their blockades or initiate other actions in response if able to the best of their abilities and capacity,” the agreement says. “We will not attack each other or each other’s actions on social media or to the press. We will hold a post-action debrief so that we can raise principled critiques among ourselves in a constructive manner rather than publicly.”
