Take the Pledge

Cheap plastic disposable clothing is flooding our society. These fabrics release microplastics that are bad for our health. Legislation can prevent this, but the clothing industry lobby threatens to weaken this law. Fast Plastic Fashion remains a problem.
 
Will you help us put pressure so the law really works?

Do clothes make us sick?

When inhaled, microfibers can reach the lungs and cause chronic inflammation — increasing the risk of cancer, asthma, heart disease, and diabetes. These fibers have also been found in the liver, kidneys, brain, and even in unborn babies. We ingest microplastics through food and drinks, which can trigger gut issues like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
