Unseen Plastic Microfiber Nightmare For Wildlife And Human Health

     Clothing, cleaning cloths, other textiles and materials made from petrochemical derived synthetic materials (including nylon, polyester and more) are a major reason there are now microfibers inside the bodies of many animal species, including humans. A single wash of clothing containing synthetic materials can release hundreds of thousands of non biodegradable microfibers into the environment.
      Microfibers contaminate fish and other marine life. Microfibers cannot be filtered out, and are  known to be present in many tap and bottled waters.
       As alarming as it is to visually see the enormous amounts of plastics and other non biodegradable waste along many of the world's coasts or in the world's oceans, it must be understood that this is but the tip of the iceberg. Plastics, styrofoam and other oil based materials break down into smaller pieces that do not degrade. The world is drowning in trillions of plastic microbeads, plastic particles, and  non biodegradable microfibers.
       It is not only what we see that is killing wildlife and ourselves, it is also that which we cannot see.
       As far down as the Mariana Trench, the ocean's' deepest point, animals have synthetic microfibers in their bodies.
       No one knows how many microfibers, plastic strands and beads are inside of our bodies, and at what point they cause disease.
        Plastic and other oil based contaminants are killing wildlife. The toll that unseen synthetic microfibers exact is far greater than imagined.
        Keep things as they are, and this will kill the oceans and ultimately mankind. Or change and reduce the way plastics and other petrochemicals are used (including styrofoam and plastics used in the fast food industry, synthetic materials used in clothing and other textiles, plastic and other oil based materials used to wrap foods and for packaging, and much more).
