Plastic textiles are flowing and shedding into our soils, oceans and bodies. The reality of 60 percent of our clothing being plastic is that the lint that our textiles produce ends up where we least want it to be— and that includes our biosphere, oceans and soils. We're permeating our ecosystems with a material that microbes can't eat. Dr. Timnit Kefela researched the fate our plastic microfibers during her PhD candidacy at UC Santa Barbara's Bren School. She is very focused on the transfer of these materials into terrestrial ecosystems, noting that where the fibers end up is an environmental justice issue that needs to be addressed.
