Written on April 13, 2020 [Britni] COVID-19 has changed life for us all. We can all feel it in our everyday life in one way or another. Some of us are working harder than ever, scrambling because of the stupid virus. Others are bored at home, still getting their paycheck or collecting unemployment.

What I discovered was REALLY OVERWHELMING. There are so many sites and organizations who are publishing information about the single use plastic problem. It was great to discover that there are so many passionate people spreading awareness...

If you read the first post in this collaborative series with The Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies you know we are here to learn together about how to keep TLPF's (those little plastic fuckers [microplastics]) out of the ocean.  It seems natural to start with the main contributor to this problem: laundering synthetic clothing.
