Since recording this conversation, I've mentioned to a lot of people, "you wouldn't believe the situation with dyes and poisons in our clothes."

The most common response has been something like, "Oh yeah, I've heard. It's terrible."

Then I share some of what Alden shares in this conversation and they say, "Wow, I didn't realize it was that serious," and become very interested to learn more.

Our clothing touches us intimately. Microfibers enter our lungs. Our children, everyone is affected.

You'll value learning from Alden in this conversation, then reading her book To Dye For, then acting personally, then acting politically.
