Researchers have discovered that waste from the global apparel industry is leaking millions of tons of plastic into the environment each year and may be getting worse over time.

Clothing shouldn’t be made with plastic in the first place. Synthetic fibers suck ass.
Tell that to rain coats.
I use wax cotton jackets - keeps the water out AND lasts way longer than rain coats! My orders wax jacket is 10 years old, and still looks new (when I wax it). There are options other than plastic clothing, you just have to look for it, and, in the case of wax jackets and trousers, work a little to keep it in tip top shape!
I think a lot of people would find it challenging and cost prohibitive to wear a wax jacket. They do look nice though. I miss good fashion.
That’s very true. I got my first when I did not have a lot of money, but was lucky enough to find a virtually new one at a thrift shop, which started my obsession with them, so when I wanted a new one, nearly a decade later, I saved for months to get one. Though, not everyone is lucky enough to be able to get one, or even be able to save for one…
Fuck, I hate this simulation. I vote for a complete restart, because this must be the dumbest simulation.
Off topic, perpetuating the concept that we are in a simulation only furthers the idea that nothing matters, and why should we care. Elon is big believer in this, and that’s why he’s such a sociopath. Why Should we be concerned about anything if it’s just a game?
Wait, he does!?! That makes so much sense, considering him wanting to be the person who saves humanity, and that he’ll block others from reaching the same goal!
Yeah, he went on about it in some interviews years back. He thinks most of us are NPCs and that there are only a small amount of actual players—if any.
Fabric can be made water-resistant without plastic.
Exactly. I try to avoid it at all costs. Doesn’t breathe, and is horrible for the environment.
