A sobering read. Plastic sachets, polyester clothing, drinks bottles, tetrapaks and wet wipes are stacking up with low recycling rates and little sign of change.

@gerrymcgovern imho it’s the rise of #polyester #microfiber #plastic #spandex

Even that 3% elastane woven in w/silk, cotton, wool etc is harmful & it kills your clothes making them unwearable

If we stopped using single use plastic in the form of drink cups, soda/liquid/drink bottles, food packaging, shampoo & product packaging, AND stopped buying #fastFashion #shein #lululemon & the like, it would go far in helping this giant mess we’ve created as these things don’t degrade for 200-400 years #plasticIsTheNewCoal #fossilFuel #COP28

I have a bit of a beef with the second hand marketplace #tise: they have their own profile called Tise Treasures where they sell “hand selected second hand treasures” and the “treasures” are for example a 100% #polyester shirt for 600 kr (~60€) and virtually no clothing above size M.

Can’t get over seeing used #designer dresses sell for almost 3000kr (250€) and be made of #polyester

Donnerstag. Heute ist freie Bühne/Session in unserem schönen #Polyester , dem coolen Club in unserem genossenschaftlichen Polyhaus. https://www.polygenos.de/

Das wird spassig, wilde Musik von verschiedensten Leuten. Das geht über Rock, Jazz und Folk bis Hiphop und Reggae - eine unvorhersagbare Mischung mit gemeinhin gutem Niveau gespielt.
Aber um den Tag bis dahin zu überleben, braucht's erstmal nen Kaffee aus dem #CoffeonenBeschleuniger
