    I have a very fluffy maine coon mix, and he sheds a lot! We use a hair removal glove to remove pet hair from our clothing and furniture rather than the sticky rolls that produce lots of waste. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Lifestyle Natural Fibers
    What are the benefits (to people, animals, and the environment) of purchasing clothes made with natural fibers?

    Natural 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.
