Microfibers aren't a micro problem for our oceans
There have been a lot of cheers on the several bills in Sacramento on reducing plastic pollution. Among them is California Asembly Bill 2379, which tackles a big but little-known problem. The bill requires clothing made from fabric that is composed of more than 50% synthetic material with a warning in the label that would say: “This garment sheds plastic microfibers when washed, which contributes to marine plastic pollution.” Unfortunately the bill became inactive.
