    So, i was feeling pretty apocalyptic about this too - until it learned that “micro plastics” include any synthetic fibers like polyester. i mean, of course our clothing lint will get everywhere

      I don’t know about you, but I don’t feel like clothing lint is supposed to be in our hearts.

      Do you think there should be cotton in our hearts too? Just because we wear something doesn’t mean it should be inside our bodies too.

      I have been trying to replace as many of my synthetic clothes and textiles with cotton (or other natural textiles) as possible…
