Green Orleans urges people to choose natural fibers for clothing
Editor:
We do not often think about our clothing containing plastic, but synthetic materials do. Every time they are laundered plastic particles are released.
To minimize the detrimental effects on the environment, launder synthetic materials in cold water and either line dry or dry on a cooler setting.
Purchasing secondhand synthetics as opposed to new helps as well. Of course, purchasing clothing made from natural fibers such as cotton is even better. Each one of us, working together, can help preserve the environment that sustains us.
