Great article but believe you should have done some follow up with washing machine manufacturers and get them to comment. Otherwise it’s a futile attempt and even more so, depressing! Sad state we’re in. Hope you stay on this subject matter.

Hope so! I’m so depressed now I feel like I should turn into Pigpen. Or you could make a case that we should all just be nudists!

Do some research? Where does most of the plastic pollution come from? California drinking straws? Nope. Antwhere in the US? Nope. Sounds like you are pushing an agenda that has nothing to do with facts

Cigarette filters too! They are made up mostly of cellulose acetate, are a much bigger problem than straws, and don't protect smokers like they were originally advertised to do!

Less than 800 lbs a year from clothing fibers? That's chump change compared to the 8m tonnes dumped annually. Do a story on Asia's growing middle class and its various governments' complete inability to stop plastic waste from flowing into rivers/the sea.

The only bright spot is that breaking down plastics into tiny hairs makes them more likely to be broken down in the environment. Not much of a solution, I'll admit.
