#6 Eco-tips, ocean pollution due to fashion
Through this series of articles, we will offer you each week insight into the ecological impact of clothing production around the world. With LO NEEL, we are committed to the planet, our Mother Earth which welcomes and shelters us. We refuse to participate, directly or indirectly, in its pollution, degradation and destruction.
It seemed important to us to denounce abusive practices but also to propose lasting solutions on a daily basis. We hope this information will give you a better understanding of the underbelly of mass production in the fashion industry.
The LO NEEL team also supports you in raising individual ecological awareness, by offering each article in this series eco-tips to follow on a daily basis. By following them, this will allow you to behave and consume more healthily and ethically.
Here is eco-tip #6!
190,000 tonnes of plastic microfibers from our clothing end up in the oceans each year.
Solution: choose clothing made from natural or recycled fibers.
Through LO NEEL pieces, we offer a plurality of innovative materials. They are all natural or recycled. We ensured that they were produced in a healthy and ecological way. Thus, the fibers that make up our pieces are organic and cannot, therefore, pollute the planet. For example, our ALLY dress is made from soy fibers. Our ARTY fanny pack is made from recycled polyester, in other words recovered plastic bottles. Finally, our ALEK belt is made from pineapple fiber which replaces animal leather. It is also called vegetable leather.

In order to fight against this type of pollution in the oceans, we advise you to buy eco-responsible clothing. To ensure the reliability of brands and materials, look carefully at clothing labels and make sure that brands are transparent about their production method.
Summer is coming and unfortunately so are polluting practices. When you are about to swim in the sea or ocean, do not apply sunscreen to your skin. It will not protect you since the water will wash it away. On the other hand, it is extremely polluting and harmful to the marine ecosystem. When you are on the beach or walking along the coast, do not throw your trash or cigarette butts into the water. Remember to take a bag with you and put your waste in it if you can't find a trash can near your location. Be attentive to the behavior of others and do not hesitate to protect nature.
