It's criminal how such an informative and super critical video of our times, doesn't even have 10k views and only about 400 likes. This is the reason the humanity is suffering as we don't care even if something kills us. Thank you for this video and it's now our job to share and share it as much as possible. Unfortunately, the lower cost, benefits and the ease of mass manufacturing of plastic products is hard to abandon plastic products completely but at what cost?

Great video BUT it leaves unanswered a few things. 1. How damaging is polyester in reality, microplastics sound horrendous but we do need solid evidence that they are actually destroying our planet before we can take action; 2. Cotton and wool are natural but have environmental implications too. Cotton is less durable than polyester so much be replaced often. It is also a water sponge so cannot be comfortably worn in cold climates or during intense sports activities. Wool is durable but must be processed and dyed--and it requires controlling and processing animals which is not always done compassionately. No clear answers here, but the issues are more nuanced and complex than portrayed. Thanks for opening up a good conversation.

Hi Daniel! Thank you so much for your comment. We would like to answer you with all the information we have had access to: 1. While there isn't conclusive proof of the direct effects of microplastics on human health, scientists have found that plastics can carry bacteria, potentially causing health issues. Studies have definitively shown that phthalates, found in plastics, negatively affect our reproductive health. Environmentally, the main issue is that plastics don't biodegrade, leading to overflowing landfills and polluted waterways. 2. This is true. While organic cotton doesn't release microplastics and is biodegradable, it's less durable. Additionally, cotton isn't ideal for hot weather. Note that polyester, though potentially warmer, traps moisture, promoting bacterial growth. 3. Let's not forget the environmental impact of polyester production. It starts with petroleum extraction, requiring disruptive infrastructure and potentially causing oil spills and carbon emissions. Animal welfare is a valid concern, especially regarding merino sheep and goats. However, it’s important to remember that alpacas and sheep require regular shearing for their own health.

While we have no definitive proof of how microplastics affect our health in he long run, two basic questions always remain (whether it's plastics in our bodies or pumping CO2 into the atmosphere and so on): - do we act now with the assumption that it may be more damaging as time goes on? - or do we not do anything and find out only when it's too late? We naturally didn't have microplastics in our bodies and generally I wouldn't want them there.

These toxic chemicals are what are now contaminating our entire planet, causing cancers, brain disorders, gut dysbiosis, triggering genes that cause disorders, and hormone dysfunctions. From brain cancers to untreatable gut issues to hormones, our planet is now awash is petroleum based chemicals that we've been convinced to buy.

Hi there! Thank you for your comment. Dry-fit clothing usually has a large amount of fabric finishings added because it’s like sweat repellent.

Way worse! Its a carcinogen. Polyester done the old school way not like today with fast fashion should’t frey as it does. Also pandex is an allergen. For me its really agravating my face swells into a cartoonishly evil mask if the breaze catches me right! Its fucking bullshit cuz everyone wears that crap now! Also detergents ans fabric softners adhear easier to both spandex and nylon increasing irritation. Polyester especially if done right is a million times better. Nylon is more durable but its same as spandex and you shouldn’t wash it. Its terriblw. All three come from plastics families, but Polyester tends to rinse well and has very good properties for clothing especially in a 70/30 mix of cotton/pilyester respectively. Its much more durable if I had made this video polyester would have been the last on this hitlist.

Nylon, spandex, and polyester are all synthetic plastics, but each has different properties. Nylon is stronger and more durable than polyester but requires more energy to produce. Spandex is highly elastic, making it great for activewear. Polyester is cost-effective and versatile but less elastic. All three contribute to microplastic pollution, though recycled versions are a more sustainable option.

A great way to sustainably dispose of polyester fabrics is to repurpose them instead of throwing them away. You could turn old polyester items into cleaning rags, or use them for DIY projects like creating bags or home décor. If that's not an option, consider upcycling through brands or organizations that specialize in repurposing materials. Another option is to look into textile recycling programs that are designed to break down synthetic fabrics like polyester and turn them into new products. It's about finding creative ways to extend the life of the fabric!

People should stop villainizing plastic as it will not reach in the ocean by its own. To stop production of plastic, you need to stop extracting its raw materials which is a by-product of petroleum. Without petroleum, you wouldn't have gasoline. Plastics are used in packaging materials because they are durable and lightweight. If you're thinking switching to paper and cardboard is the solution, its not. Transporting these items will require more energy due to their space and weight. The most ideal type of packaging which can be reuse over and over again is glass. But glass is fragile and heavy, and requires a lot of energy to be manufactured and to be transported. The only way to save the environment is to go back to the old ways, which will require drastic change in human behavior , mindset and priorities. Putting the blame on a certain material after serving its purpose is a total BS and are just people who are looking for an easy way, without really changing. You want to save the environment, encourage everyone to abandon all technology and inventions that require energy. The use of Solar Energy sounds very enticing like individuals using it are doing a huge impact in the environment, which is not, because the materials and processes in manufacturing the solar batteries are very hazardous not just for the environment, but to the people involve in the manufacturing. So, just to conclude this comment, if you want to genuinely save the environment and stop these microplastics from getting into the human body, encourage people to stop using energy, stop eating fruits and vegetables that are not in their natural bearing season, buy only items that are made within your community where they use materials found in your community as well, do not shower everyday, encourage people to go back in the old ways. there is no such thing as free lunch. Your convenience now has a price, which may or may not directly affect you now, but it will have an effect. When there is no demand, manufacturers will lessen the supply. And if you try to argue about having small steps better than a well thought solution to a massively big problem in the society today, then the small steps might be a closing door to the only problem a portion of people are concern of, while creating a bigger problem in the future.

You bring up some valid points about the complexities of environmental issues and the challenges we face with materials like plastic. It's true that shifting away from one material often leads to unintended consequences, like the energy demands of alternative packaging. However, the goal is not to villainize plastic, but rather to find sustainable alternatives and create more efficient recycling systems. It's not about rejecting progress but embracing innovation that aligns with long-term environmental health. While it’s difficult to completely abandon modern technology, we can still make mindful choices to reduce our environmental impact. Small steps, like reducing single-use plastics, supporting local and sustainable products, and investing in cleaner energy, can collectively lead to positive change. It’s about balance and responsibility-finding solutions that don’t sacrifice the environment for convenience. Sustainable progress will require a shift in mindset, but it's something that can be achieved with a combined effort.

You are giving an oversimplified solution which is to give up all technology which isn't a plausible solution and you know it but you wrote it to be a scornful comment anyway. Technology is progressive. The solution is not a single one rather one that will take multiple approaches. First, we have to bring attention to the problem, so we absolutely need to "villainize" it because there is direct evidence that plastics are destroying the oceans and the planet. Without us bringing attention to the problem, it will never get traction to bring about changes. The "small" steps you speak of are absolutely necessary to move towards big changes. You can't snap two fingers and erase plastics out of existence. Each of us has to take actionable steps to ensure we are not contributing to the problem. Now, is drinking from a paper straw going to save the planet instantly? Of course not. But it will create a meaningful "practice" that will inform and convince others to learn about the negative effects of using a plastic straw. Next, through our advocacy and activism, we can put pressure on these conglomerates and governments to take actions on their part to make sure these problems are not being exacerbated. If you allow it, the corporates will absolutely run with plastics because they are the most cost-effective materials. That DOES NOT remove the responsibility from us because we do "play" into their profiteering. We can and should hold them accountable for polluting the planet. Especially, when most of us are regular citizens with no expertise in the matter unless some of us decide to pursue a career in it. Those of us who know plastics are harmful have an obligation to inform others. It's called practicing compassion. When technology can be improved to build more powerful weapons to obliterate nations within seconds, then surely it can be used to research alternative methods to produce better fibres and production materials. Unfortunately, in our current state of the world, nothing is improved upon if it it is not economical because God knows we need more millionaires and billionaires. Because when the health quality of average citizens declines, these rich people are not going to come down from their lofty towers to pay for the treatment costs. So, yes we NEED to villainize plastics and all the companies who produce and use it. We NEED to tell people to do what they can within their power. If they can demand for change through activism, then to do so. If they can advocate, then to do so. If they can do neither, then at least reduce their own plastic usage and tell their children and friends to do so.

Oil serves as fuel, but since 1960 we discovered oil could also be processed into polymers meaning plastic, and plastic threads. So we started manufacturing Polyester, Nylon, Viscose etc. but being oil it keeps its ignition and flammable properties even as we wear it. Labels warn, but who reads labels. Trousers, Skirts, Jackets, and even our bedding - sheets, duvets, covers, blankets ALL MADE FROM FLAMMABLE OIL. Heat or flame will set it alight. AND IT CLINGS TO YOU, STICKING TO YOUR SKIN. I get irritation or a rash wearing it, and prefer cotton. IF COTTON IS SET ALIGHT, IT FALLS AWAY FROM YOUR BODY not clings to it. AND CAN BE EXTINGUISHED OR PUT OUT MORE EASILY. Sadly climate change has reduced production of cotton, and more artificial oil based fabrics are produced.

Thank you for your comment! You’re absolutely right-so many of the fabrics we use today are made from synthetic, oil-based materials like polyester and nylon, and the risks they come with are often overlooked. Cotton really is such a better alternative-not just for comfort but for safety too. It’s breathable, natural, and, as you said, doesn’t stick to your skin if it burns. That’s one of the reasons we’re so passionate about using Pima Cotton at ECO AYA. It’s softer, stronger, and lasts longer than regular cotton, making it a win for you and the planet. The shift toward more synthetic fabrics is frustrating, but by supporting sustainable cotton and choosing natural fibers where we can, we’re helping push back against that trend. Small changes like picking cotton over synthetics really can make a big difference-for you, your health, and the environment! 🌱

과식으로 소비를 해야만 경제가 돌아간다는식은? 미친 의식 아닌가요? 산업ㆍ상업ㆍ유통시대 노노.

맞아요, 과도한 소비가 경제를 돌아가게 만든다는 생각은 문제의 본질을 간과하는 것 같습니다. 지속 가능한 소비와 생산이 중요한 시대에 살고 있으니, 더 현명하고 균형 잡힌 방식으로 접근해야 할 때입니다.

But no more plastic bags at the grocery store…problem solved, right?

Hi! Thank you for your comment. Well, it's more than that, besides reducing plastic bags, there are plastic bottles, plastic in clothing (polyester), and many more plastic-based products that end up harming the environment and our health.

It might seem too late, but you can always start with your habits and modify your lifestyle to prevent as many illnesses as possible.

How would plastic from clothes get into our blood? We have skin to prevent things from even getting into our body in the first place.

Hey! Thank you for leaving a comment. We know polyester clothes, or any other plastic-free materials used to produce clothing, release microplastics which we breathe in. You can check our video interviewing Dr. Dick Vethaak, he explains more about this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoinf62veLycocUsi=G4KBLUlt17W57wx1

Hi there, thank you for your comment. Actually, there are rain jackets made of wool. Here is a brand that offers some options for water-resistance jackets: www.woolmark.com/performance/merino-wool-outer-layers/

Yes, plastic is everywhere as you mention, but we can start replacing it in our daily choices and clothes.

Frequent temperature changes can indeed accelerate physical degradation, especially in sensitive materials. It's a reminder of how important proper storage and handling are to maintain durability.

Your mean if people in general would buy sustainable clothing? I mean, it seems more and more people are aware of the benefits of sustainable fashion - not only for the environment but also for our health - because we are constantly receiving new orders!
