Plastic clothes

Pros and Cons of shirts made from different material.
Recycled Plastic & Polyester:
-Uses less water and can be considered as more environmentally friendly to produce.
-Whenever it’s washed, it releases micro plastics into the environment.
-Cheap to make.
-Lasts for centuries (doesn’t decompose).
-Burns/melts/is more flammable, releases toxic fumes.
Cotton:
-Takes a ton of water to produce and production can be harmful for the environment (worsens soil quality, labor intensive, uses insane amounts of water).
-Degrades over time (decomposes).
-More expensive to produce.
-Less flammable than petroleum/plastic based items.
Maybe we should all just go naked. 🙈
