A plastic #microfiber found in the exhaled breath of a bottlenose #dolphin is nearly 14 times smaller than a strand of hair and can be seen only with a microscope.
The ocean releases #microplastics into the air through surface froth and wave action. Once the particles are released, wind can transport them to other locations.

TikToker explains reason why #Lululemon got its name - YouTube

As a person named Lorraine… I have thoughts on this
Koreans cannot pronounce L either… It drove me crazy as a kid being called Rori or Rorraine…
To name your company b/c you think it’s hilarious to see people struggle saying the name is… sociopathic, mean & cruel
Plus LuluLemon makes trash products & nobody should be wearing #microfiber #spandex #fossilFuel #plasticIsTheNewCoal products anyways. It feels suffocating & also retains odors… super gross
@gerrymcgovern imho it’s the rise of #polyester #microfiber #plastic #spandex
Even that 3% elastane woven in w/silk, cotton, wool etc is harmful & it kills your clothes making them unwearable
If we stopped using single use plastic in the form of drink cups, soda/liquid/drink bottles, food packaging, shampoo & product packaging, AND stopped buying #fastFashion #shein #lululemon & the like, it would go far in helping this giant mess we’ve created as these things don’t degrade for 200-400 years #plasticIsTheNewCoal #fossilFuel #COP28
Irrotin tänään eläkeläiseltä tarrat ja hinkkasin mikrokuituliinalla liimat pois. Toimii!
Tarrat oli pakko lopulta poistaa hygieniasyistä. Ovat olleet lähes 8 vuotta kannessa kiinni. Toki aina uusia voi laittaa, mutta nyt saa eläkeläinen olla hetken alasti.

I wish I had known earlier
It wasn’t until 2015 while taking a requisite textile science class for fashion design that I became aware polyester was a #fossilFuel product as were the plastic bottles
At minimum, (stats probs increased from several years ago last I checked) 60% of new clothing made today is #fossilFuelFiber #microfiber #plasticIsTheNewCoal #plasticPollution #methane
cons:
1. no bacteria resistence so clothes get stinky fast, thus frequent washing needed
2. microplastics leech into the water with every wash sending microplastics to city sewer systems which don’t typically filter microplastics so they go into rivers. (Perhaps non-issue for septic tanks)
pros:
3. needs no tumble drying; air-dries in an hour; huge+ in the US where all tumble dryers are vented
4? do the dyes of plastics leech out? Plastic colors seem to be baked in
Better yet, wear clothes made of shorn #wool, #hemp, #bamboo, #flax, or #OrganicCotton.
How do you tackle #microplastics? Start with your washing machine.
Simple filters could help remove #microfiber pollution from your #laundry. But experts say a broader portfolio of solutions is needed to address the problem.

"As environmental challenges go, microfiber pollution has come from practically out of nowhere. It was only a decade or so ago that scientists first suspected our #clothing, increasingly made of #synthetic materials like #polyester and #nylon, might be major contributors to the global #plastic problem.
"Today a growing body of science suggests the tiny strands that slough off #clothes are everywhere and in everything. By one estimate, they account for as much as one-third of all microplastics released to the ocean. They’ve been found on #MountEverest and in the #MarianaTrench, along with tap #water, #plankton, shrimp guts, and our poo."

#PHENOMENAL listen
I rarely agree 100% with anything, but there were no flaws here💛💗everyone should listen to it b/c even if you know, you’ll still learn something #Reagan 🤷🏻♀️
I WISH they would come in the night & rip out my #gasStove !
Now do #microfiber #spandex #polyester #plasticIsTheNewCoal :)
#fossilFuel is marketing #elastane in clothing to make up for declining #revenue stream
#no2 #climateCrisis #benzene #electrification #carcinogenic #decarbonization
@augieray
small incremental changes can also be #noteworthy
when it is framed as all or nothing, I think that’s where the problem is & we can get stuck
Using clothing as example, #polyester #microfiber #elastane #spandex are all #fossil fuel as are #plastic
Most people have/use these things but being aware of the problem first is the only way it will be solved
#climateCrisis #Co2 driven also largely in part by #singleUsePlastic & clothes
#themes are all the same it seems💛💗🌈
#Cigarettebutt filters are #toxic! They are made of a semisynthetic material and contribute to #microfiber pollution. They also contain 1000s of #chemicals. We found that leachates induced mortality and developmental deformities in midge larvae.

These #microfiber #LensWipes are officially BACK IN STOCK!
FYI: The #Amazon listing says 1-2 months, but it actually ships in more like 1-2 weeks at most. Amazon is just bad a estimating things.
This is because Amazon is currently working on disseminating the stock throughout their distribution network. Once that's done, the shipping times should go back down to just a couple of days like normal. :-)

New study from Ocean Wise finds washing clothes on gentle cycle can reduce #microfiber shedding by over 70%. #howto #ecology

I’ve tried a lot of #LensCloths and while I’ve found some decent ones Nine are as good as plain old bulk #microfiber cloths.
The Story of Microfibers (2017) https://vidcommons.org/videos/watch/d10c66b2-8fb2-4fa6-a6e2-bdcb3dab79d2
"Regular exposure to cleaning products significantly affects lung function, research has suggested.
The study of 6,000 people by a team from #Norway's #University of Bergen, found women appeared to be more badly affected than men.
They said cleaning #chemicals were "unnecessary" and #microfiber cloths and water were "enough for most purposes"."
