Wipe Out
Did you know that each time you wash your clothing, teeny tiny bits break off and end up in our water systems? These microplastics are then mistakenly eaten by aquatic organisms, which can result in infections, starvation, and even death. You can reduce your microplastic footprint by washing your clothing in a Guppyfriend, which catches the microfibres your clothing sheds, and reduces wear and tear on your clothes. guppyfriend.com
