[January 12 Webinar] [2]

Dear John,

Over 60% OF CLOTHING SOLD WORLDWIDE CONTAINS PLASTIC—in the forms of
polyester, acrylic, nylon, spandex, and more. Through regular washing and
wearing, synthetic clothing sheds tiny plastic particles called
“microfibers.” A SINGLE LOAD OF LAUNDRY CAN RELEASE OVER 9 MILLION
MICROFIBERS INTO OUR WATERWAYS. These microfibers are so small they cannot
be filtered by wastewater treatment facilities and ultimately end up in our
oceans.

In our first webinar of 2023, we will explore how the ubiquitous nature of
synthetic textiles is CAUSING A MASSIVE AND LARGELY INVISIBLE PLASTIC
POLLUTION PROBLEM. We will be joined by MELI HINOSTROZA, Co-Founder, Aya
Eco Fashion [3] & Arms of Andes [4]; DR. ANDREJ KRŽAN, Chief Scientist, P
[5]lane [6]tCare [5]; and DR. JUDITH WEIS, Professor Emerita of Biological
Sciences at Rutgers University. The conversation will be moderated by
MADELEINE MACGILLIVRAY, Climate and Plastics Campaign Coordinator, Seeding
Sovereignty [7].
