The microfibers shed by synthetic clothing during a laundry cycle are a big contributor to plastic pollution (Credit: Retviews.com)

Clothing made from synthetic materials, such as polyester and nylon, has many positive attributes. It is cheap to produce, lasts for a long time, and is comfortable to wear. However, the fabric, made from petroleum, has one major downside. The tiny polymer strands — or what we call lint — that shed from the textiles during each laundry cycle are big contributors to plastic pollution. Now, some scientists from Lithuania have found a way to recycle the textile waste into clean energy.

              I didn't know this! I wanna help the world because if animals or trees or anything dies out like that then we die we need to take care of the world! I'll tell you easy ways to help! First just recycle all your plastic and try not to use plastic! Help clean up on the beaches! Tell people to recycle too! And just start by the little things because it could end up saving the world! We need our animals and plants or else we die! If we don't have plants then we have no tree and trees help make air I don't know the science behind it and there would be no vegetables and we all will get fat and unhealthy and die! Now if we loose animals first yall won't get protein in vegetarian and my protein is milk cheese and eggs so animals also help with protein! Yall we need to make a change! ANYWHO HAVE A GREAT DAY GUYS!
