The dye industry, heavy on the use of petrochemicals, is one of the world’s biggest polluters. Now dyes can be made by microorganisms that -grow- colors.
Microbes are still made of chemicals, it’s just different chemicals

“It’s 100% natural!” “So is arsenic.” …

Asbestos is literally 100% natural. A pure natural product.
Really!? Crazy, imma read up on asbest today :), thanks for the factoid!

I’m excited to see the first color to cause a mass health event because the color wasn’t fully sterilized because of cost cutting. I’m sure people will be really normal about it.
Bets on red btw.
