69% of all fabric used to make clothing is plastic<\/h3>

That comfy fleece you love snuggling up in? 100% Plastic. That t-shirt you wore to the gym that wicks the sweat away? 100% plastic plus a bunch of chemicals to make that happen.<\/p>

We all have loads of plastic stuff. But we found a lazy, guaranteed way to eliminate exposure to a lot of the bad stuff,\u00a0<\/em>microplastics and nanoplastics<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/a>, in our lives. A large portion of daily human exposure to Nanoplastics is in our clothes. They are released in the hundreds of thousands in the form of plastic nano-fibres every time you put it in the washing machine<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/a> (which end up in your local waterways and eventually your drinking water<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/a>). Then you hang it on the line outside. The Sun's UV Rays degrade it and release more nano-fibres, which are carried away in the wind to pollute the Earth. You then wear it and breathe in thousands of nano-plastic particles. Then the cycle repeats.<\/p>

Think about how much of a pain Glitter<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/a>, which is technically a virgin microplastic, is when it sticks to stuff. It's impossible to shift right? Imagine that but so small you can't see it. Sticking to EVERYTHING in your environment and in your body. We're not even sure if we can remove it from our bodies let alone how much long term damage it will cause. Potentially, increases globally in diseases like Alzheimers<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/a> and Parkinsons could be linked to nanoplastics in our brain<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/u><\/p>

Replacing as many day-to-day items of clothing that are either polyester or a polyester blend, t-shirts, hoodies and sweaters as you can with Eco-Certified Organic Cotton<\/u><\/strong><\/a>, which is a super soft, breathable, sustainable material that can be recycled either with us or your local clothing recycler. Wearing our clothing reduces you and your family's exposure to potentially millions of nanoplastic particles per item of clothing over its lifetime.<\/p>

Nanoplastics are what Microplastics become because plastic NEVER goes away. Nanoplastics range from\u00a0<\/em>1 to 1000 Nanometers<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/a>. Some of these toxic plastic particles are smaller than Bacteria (2500 nanometers) & Viruses (5-300 Nanometers) and freely enter and move around the body.\u00a0<\/u><\/em>Estimates<\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/em> <\/em><\/strong><\/a>in recent studies say we probably INGEST about 5 grams of micro and nano plastics Per Week, Per Person from\u00a0various sources<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/a>. That's about the same amount as your credit card! Many of these pass uninterrupted through the body, but they have been found in major organs, blood, your unborn Childs Placenta<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/a>, inside Immune Cells and even found to be able to cross the <\/strong>blood brain barrier<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/a> where they collect in the Frontal Cortex and in the Myeline Sheath, which is the fatty tissue that insulates neurons and helps with signal transmission. They have even been found in\u00a0Breast Milk<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>

It's all pretty horrifying, and if you're here reading this, you're probably one of the lucky ones who lives in a first-world country where there are likely some small measures at limiting industrial exposure. But there's no avoiding exposure; they've been found in the most remote places on Earth. The frozen wilds of Antarctica and the bottom of the Mariana Trench. In the air we breathe, in the earth, in every river and Ocean, in your food and drinking water. Literally Everywhere. The only way to avoid them is to live in an actual bubble. But, ironically, the best material to use for that is plastic!<\/p>

Reduction is our only choice.
