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.

Its lint tho... Its like sand of the dryer world

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