Miss GayleJust buy the powder, class. There is absolutely no need for all that plastic coating on your laundry and dishwasher soap. This is just one of many shopping choices we can make every day to limit or even eliminate buying things made with plastic, especially single use things. They're just completely unnecessary.Link: <a href="https://www.resilience.org/stories/2025-06-12/detergent-pods-are-only-the-start-of-clothings-microplastic-pollution-problem/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.resilience.org/stories/2025-06-12/detergent-pods-are-only-the-start-of-clothings-microplastic-pollution-problem/</a><a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Environment</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Plastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plastic</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/MicroPlastics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MicroPlastics</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Pollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pollution</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sustainability</a>

Shaula EvansI keep reading advice about avoiding microplastics that says to use liquid rather than powder laundry detergents because "powder detergents act as scrubs and can scrub off fibers." This doesn't make sense to me. Don't powder detergents dissolve in water?Rather than switching to liquid detergent, which has other problems, wouldn't dissolving powder in water before adding clothes address the problem?What am I missing here?If you're a <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Microplastics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Microplastics</a> expert, I'd love to hear from you. 1/n
