Micro Plastics
I read an interesting article today about how much microplastics our clothes shed, especially in the wash machine were the end up in the water supply if they are too small to be filtered out. The author discussed solutions for reducing them but skipped over the most obvious one, one which most everyone on this would say is the best one. They did say do laundry less often.
