I really do despair for the future of humanity. Some people are in for a real shock when the reality finally hits of what it's going to take to save our precious planet. The level of total ignorance from seemingly intelligence people blows my mind.
If we are all washing clothes at this rate of unnecessary ridiculousness, what hope is there that we can globally reduce the amount of strain on our water systems, let alone anything else.
Imagine how people will react when the emergency measures kick in when the eventual mass panic hits those in charge and the majority of the general public. Of course we can't sustain our world by producing such an enormous amount of pollution daily in its various forms. Every single (domestic or industrial) load of washing produces goodness knows how many litres of grey (polluted with chemicals) water that is then released into the system and needs to be treated.
We are all (surely by now!?) aware of the horrendous state of the UKs waterways and sewage systems, this kind of ridiculous over-washing of clean clothes simply adds to an already broken system, bursting at the seams.
Can you imagine how people will react when we are finally given a list of measures to abide by to be even within a small vain hope of undoing all this environmental damage?
I mean I just cannot get my head around the sheer lack of commonsense and collective responsibility to be sensible here. How do people think that water from their washing machines gets back to clean again? By magic? Fairy dust? David Attenborough himself with his mangle?
For goodness sake please, all those people who fear wearing anything more than once - put your idiotic selfishness to one side, read some climate change books and get therapy.
OP, your leggings are fine lass, please wear them again x
