Laundry Fluff- Polluting Oceans EVERYWHERE! (dun dun dun)

Since 1940 shed of synthetic microscopic plastic fibers make their way through sewage treatment systems and into oceans. This synthetic lint makes its way through sewage treatment systems and into oceans all around the world., with the potential to harm marine life. No beach is free of colorful synthetic lint, the most contaminated samples came from areas with the most human population, suggesting the people were the source of the lint.

 Your clothes may seem all innocent and harmless but really, that sweater you are wearing is DEADLY... to ocean animals that is.Filter feeding mussels will consume these little particles and and they will then enter the bloodstream. If all fish take these in they will eventually end up in us, from eating the fish.
