On today’s episode, I’m speaking with Dr Laura Foster, Head of Clean Seas at the Marine Conservation Society. They have begun their #stopoceanthreads campaign. This is a petition calling for washing machine manufacturers to fit microfibre filters in all new domestic and commercial machines, by law, by 2023 and retrofitted in commercial machines by 2024. If you weren’t sure about the amount of micro plastic that comes from washing the stains out of your clothes…you’re about to find out… To help #stopoceanthreads – sign the petition here: https://www.mcsuk.org/what-you-can-do/campaigns/stop-ocean-threads/ Dr Imogen Napper on the Age of Plastic Podcast https://podfollow.com/age-of-plastic/episode/44df50b5161815a7fc55d4c80affaf6757120fdc/view GET IN TOUCH! https://www.instagram.com/ageofplasticpodcast/ https://twitter.com/andrea_fox https://www.iamandreafox.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/ageofplasticpodcast https://www.instagram.com/ageofplasticpodcast/ https://twitter.com/andrea_fox https://www.iamandreafox.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/ageofplasticpodcast Tell me you enjoy the Podcast https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ageofplastic
