It's not about plastic trash in general, the concern here is microplastics in the sewage/ocean/food chain.
And yes, I know that plastics lying around might eventually land in the ocean as microplastics. That doesn't mean that we should ignore the problems caused by synthetic clothing.
- agsilvio 7y agoLet's ignore it actually.
- aaron695 7y agoSo clothing which loses hardly any of its weight and then gets buried (after lasting much longer due to delicate washes) compared to plastic that gets caught in the ocean wash for decades until its nothing. Microfibers in reality have zero environmental impact anyway, but this pedantry is why people do nothing. What's the point. It's never good enough for people. Picking up rubbish has a impact and is easy to understand. Not allowed to even delicate wash, WTF
