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."

    But it's not just about the clothes, is it?    It's where you go and what you're doing - it all contributes to attracting unwanted attention.      If I walked around in Harlem dressed in a Klan outfit while swinging a lynching noose, I'd guess I'd last about a minute before something very bad happened to me.

    Other people seem to manage just fine so again, what attention are you trying to provoke?        Are you trying to punish your parents by forcing them constantly worry about your safety?
