Today lots of people are wearing grey Nike, Adidas, etc. (reminds me of Nazi Germany, all the grey uniforms) most of it with artificially made materials that harm the environment. When you wash an item of clothing in the washing machine, if it's not made of cotton or wool or other natural fibres, the miroplastics run out of it and into the drain and kill creatures where the water runs.

This is a quote from the website I've linked to below:
"Outdoor gear, leggings, fleeces and jumpers made from acrylic and polyester, polyamide, spandex and nylon shed up to 700,000 microfibres with each wash. Once in water, microfibres are difficult to filter out and studies have shown that these fibres are now being found in tap water in many countries."
