In the past 15+ years, I've never bought a piece of clothing, even the so-called "performance wear", that's not made from natural fibers - such as cotton, wool, linen. I am not sure about bamboo fibers - they are heavily processed and mostly in countries with less control. Looking into how much junk the dryer collects after drying plastic wear is enough for a person with a brain to stop buying those unhealthy and not eco-friendly clothes! All the microplastics goes into the environment - locally or deep in nature - and includes your lungs and digestive tract. Wearing plastic clothes at home is the worst - there are enough studies showing you inhale the plastic particles, and they start corrupting your health slowly but surely! The so called "fleece" to me is horrific comparable only to glitter! I can't believe that this is the type of material most kids love, and we make sure their lungs are full of it from an early age! Even scarier is the new trend of recycled plastics used for stuff that touches your skin or stays in your home! Who guarantees that the plastics are not containing micro toxins such as heavy metals, or compounds that could be released in time?! I am not hijacking the topic - brands such as Patagonia and Prana should be avoided, not glorified!
