Fast fashion synthetic fibers shed microplastics that persist in the environment and contaminate oceans and soil. Garment workers face toxic conditions for poverty wages. Natural fibers like ethically sourced leather and wool biodegrade instead, making them the healthier choice.
Because I'm doing two things in this video that you might not notice. I'm wearing leather and I'm wearing wool. And why am I doing that? It's because fast fashion synthetic fibers, even these animal free fake furs that will end up choking sea turtles. And then your very own cells, because they're made out of plastic, because they contain microplastic, because they're made by underpaid workers who are being poisoned, because they're poisoning our water. And they will be around 100 years from now. What I'm wearing is biodegradable. It allowed animal to live and it's good for me and it's good for the planet. Go for natural fibers, including animal fibers from ethically treated animals. We can do that, and we must do that if we are going to save our soil.
