    Microfibers: Tiny Pollutants Threatening Our Waterways

    This episode of Conscious Consumption gives an overview of what microfibres are and how we release hundreds of thousands of them every single time we do the laundry. When we wash clothes made from synthetic materials like polyester or nylon, the friction, detergent action, and mechanical forces in the washing machine cause these fabrics to shed microfibers. These microfibers then enter the wastewater along with the wash water. Because they are so tiny, conventional wastewater treatment plants are not equipped to effectively capture these microfibers, and as a result, many of them end up being released into waterways and eventually reaching oceans and other bodies of water. Raising awareness about the impact of microfiber pollution and adopting more eco-friendly laundry practices are essential steps in tackling this environmental problem and moving towards more sustainable consumption habits. Listen to learn how you can wash your clothes in a more responsible manner! Our clothes shed microfibres – here’s what we can do...

    Pinkwashing

    In this episode, I introduce a term that I recently came across: "pinkwashing." Join me as I explore this concept, which refers to when a brand claims to be LGBTQ+ friendly but fails to take substantial action or provide meaningful support to the community. Through this episode, I shed light on the need for brands to demonstrate true commitment and allyship through tangible actions, policies, and inclusive practices. Lip service without substantive change is insufficient, and as consumers, we have the power to hold brands accountable for their claims.
