The largest source of plastic in our fresh water is laundry lint

Ironically, plastic clothes probably do need to be washed more. Polypropelene thermal underwear reeks after a few days, whereas superfine merino is fine even after a month or so in the bush. Not “going out to a formal dinner” fine, but certainly much better than the “omfg my own smell is making me vomit” you get with polyprops.
