Wait school zone speed limits in the US is higher than 30km/h ?

This is mostly done to reduce noise pollution as well as mortal accidents.

Actually most leather seems to be coated in plastic as well.
I actually just watched a nice video on vegan leather vs animal leather and comparing the ecological impact (as well as other factors)
