Anyone who thinks animals get killed for leather is sadly mistaken animals, and for the most part cows, get slaughtered for beef and leather is nothing more than a byproduct of that industry. So unless you plan on giving up burgers and steaks which I certainly don't plan to do there is going to be plenty of leather to go around. As far as wood goes consider this, which is worse, chopping down a few trees, or manufacturing more plastics, even if they are recycled ones, which involves the use of some pretty nasty chemicals and other stuff you don't want to mess with.

Plastics are used for the synthetic fabric on the seats most of the dash and trim plus a ton of other stuff and the manufacturing process is not by any means friendly to the environment so if you want a truly Eco-friendly car don't just blindly follow whatever the tree hugging vegan hippies are saying but actually think about what is involved in that material all together.
