REFLECTION QUESTIONLifestyle Natural FibersWhat are the benefits (to people, animals, and the environment) of purchasing clothes made with natural fibers?
Rebecca Stanton 7/22/2019 9:05 AMNatural fibers will break down much easier once disposed of, resulting in fewer microplastics in aquatic and marine environments as compared to synthetic materials. Even better (I believe) than purchasing new clothes made with natural fibers is purchasing only used clothing. For the last 8 years, I have purchased almost exclusively used clothing.
