"So continuing to wear clothing that is falling apart can do more harm than good."

Shit. This is news to me. Wearing clothes and washing clothes is a problem?!

😵‍💫

So hand-washing clothes is better? But, how? I feel like there's more friction in scrubbing by hand??

Hand-washing is better. Or even washing on delicate cycle or something similar. There's actually less friction with hand washing and if you hand-wash, you're not likely to wash each piece of clothing for as long as they end up being washed in a machine.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying we should all be hand-washing our clothes. I'm sure as hell not doing that shit. I guess buying less clothing made from synthetic materials is a place to start.
