Der Moment für den Auftakt unserer Portraitserie steht uns bevor. In nur wenigen Wochen werden wir ausgewählte Protagonist:innen in einer Fotoshooting Serie portraitieren.

📸 Wie Ihr vielleicht gelesen habt, werden wir 5 Schlüsselthemen visuell abbilden, die mit dem Material Polyester in Verbindung stehen:

1. Ölabbau
2. Überkonsum
3. Mikrofasern
4. Kolonialismus der Modeabfälle
5. Heilung

In Kampagne #2 “Under Our Skin - Mikroplastik in der Mode” wollen wir das Problem der sehr weit verbreiteten Polyesterfasern und das Thema “Modekolonialismus” angehen. Wir sind uns bewusst, dass dies riesige Probleme sind - und wir finden, dass es höchste Zeit ist, dem wachsenden Geschäft mit ”ultraschneller Mode“ die Stirn zu bieten! ❌ ✊ ✊🏾

Seid Ihr dabei? Wenn ja, würden wir uns riesig freuen, wenn Ihr unsere Petition an Freunde und Familie weiterleiten würdet. Wir wollen noch 2025 den individuellen Dialog mit adidas starten. Vielen Dank für Eure Untestützung! 💙

Hi there! We are Ocean. Now!, an ocean NGO based in Berlin. Our concept is to leverage the power of art to strengthen engagement for #SDG14 “Life below water” on all levels of society. We're currently looking at #microfibers. We are looking forward to engage with you here on Mastodon! https://www.ocean-now.org

A team of engineers, materials scientists and chemists at Nankai University, in China, has developed a microfiber-based meta-fabric that provides full-day thermoregulation of body temperature during periods of changing external temperatures... #engineering #solarpower #clothing #technology #temperature #fediverse #innovation #hitech #fabrics #microfibers #thermoregulation

"It was found that most #microfibers released from dryers is collected in the lint filter, thereby preventing release into the #environment. However, when you realise that some manufacturers then recommend regular washing of the lint filter under a running tap, this contributes directly to an increase of waterborne #microfibre #pollution."

Want to reduce #microplastics and #plasticpollution? Our #laundry is a significant source of #microfibers to the aquatic environment. If you can install a filter on your drain line, you can reduce them 87%. Even if you can't install anything, a Cora ball will reduce the fibers by 26%. (As a renter, I'm getting the Cora ball, which (bonus!) is from #Vermont) https://rochmanlab.wordpress.com/2019/02/08/what-does-your-washing-machine-have-to-do-with-microfibers/

#Microfibers in the #Mediterranean are floating homes for bacteria, show @MLPedrotti@twitter.com and @LovLabo@twitter.com colleagues.
