City Cast Madison How Madisonians Are Ditching Microplastics in Their Clothes
When you think about sustainability, where does clothing come into the conversation? In a world where roughly 30% of the microplastics in our oceans come from synthetic clothing material, it’s more important than ever to build a connection to the fibers we wear every day. As we welcome the spring growing season, host Bianca Martin speaks with Leslie Schroeder, founder of the Midwest Linen Revival, who is leading a movement in Madison to make the fashion industry more sustainable.
