MICROFIBERS

FACTS: Microfibers being released into the ocean contaminates the water, as this will degrade the quality of the water, ultimately, harming the environment, people, and aquatic life.

DEFINITION: Man-made materials, used for synthetic fibers, more so, polyester and nylon, during the chemical process. Microfibers include microplastic that is eventually released into waterways - leading into the ocean, every time a synthetic fabric is washed.

SOLUTIONS: AVOID POLYESTER AND NYLON - Shop Responsibly - Support and purchase from sustainable businesses that ensure organic materials, as this will help eliminate toxins from being released into the environment. Practice longevity - avoid over-washing your clothes - Purchase a Cora Ball [https://www.coraball.com], a laundry ball that reduces the amount of fibers that are released while washing (preventing an average of 31% of microfiber pollution), while also helping your clothes stay durable
