Dear fast fashion: This is why I broke up with you #FashionRevolutionWeek
About a year ago, I broke up with fast fashion. If you’ve been following my blog, you already know this, but I think it’s worth sitting down and explaining why.
I’ll start from the beginning.

![is RECYCLED PLASTIC really sustainable?
many eco brands are making clothes from recycled plastic water bottles and even fishing nets. this takes plastic out of landfills and reuses them – which is good, right?
the real answer isn’t so simple! plastic clothing releases microfibers when we wash them (and even when we just wear them about our daily lives) which go into our oceans and end up inside sea life. microfibers accumulate toxins in the bodies of animals, meaning that not only is marine life in danger, but we are too when we consume seafood.
so what can we do?
🌿prioritize buying non-plastic clothing when possible
🌿wash your plastic clothing inside a microfiber-catching bag (I have a @guppyfriend & @girlfriend makes them too)
🌿install a microfiber filter in your washing machine if you own one (@girlfriend makes them, too!)
