Conscious Chatter: A Scientific Lens on the Links Between Fast Fashion, Toxicity, & Microplastics

from Second Nature · host Commons

Microplastics are seemingly everywhere, even our clothes. From production through wash days, synthetic fabrics are shedding microplastics into the air and water. It's a big issue that's going to take shifts from manufacturing to our own homes, and we wanted to start tackling this big discussion with the help of our friends at the podcast, Conscious Chatter. Earlier this year, host Kestrel Jenkins spoke with Dana Zhaxylykova. Dana is an environmental scientist and microplastics researcher, who's  originally from Kazakhstan and currently based in Germany. She uses Instagram to share practical and actionable tips about microplastics through a scientific lens.👖 Hear more from Kestrel and Conscious Chatter here.📷 Follow Conscious Chatter on Instagram.📱 To join the Commons community, download the app.📷 Follow Second Nature on Instagram.
