"Each time you wash a man-made garment, whether it be a pair of yoga pants or your favourite fleece, you are releasing between a couple of thousand and a million tiny plastic fibers into the water supply." I wasn't aware of that but that is a good argument for hemp. I typically only buy cotton stuff because I find that most man made fibers tend to smell weird if I sweat but this is another reason to stay away from that stuff.
Very true, hemp and cotton do not pose as much of a threat because they're biodegradable. Although I'm not sure about how the industry treats these materials, anyway it has to be better than polyester and acrylics.

Truth. It is hard to get around all those terrible things even if we try and it doesn't help that the corporations have figured out that "green" is a buy word. I saw some poison in the garden section of a store that claimed to be environmentally friendly.
I guess we can do our best not to make things way worse but us just being here still dose some damage.
I think the fashion industry is different, as things like this are more visible to the human eye. Whereas things like using one chemical over another is hard for the average consume to determine whether it is safe or not.
Anyway, here's hoping!
