Description of Repreve Ethical Recycled Eco Friendly Sustainable Happy Socks
Style No.: SS01
Material: Polyester made from recycled plastic bottles, outlook and knitting is the same as regular happy socks.
From birds to fish to other marine life, millions of animals die of plastic every year.
Nearly 700 species, including some endangered species, are affected by plastics. Almost every seabird has eaten plastic.
Most of the deaths were caused by strangulation or starvation. Seals, whales, turtles and other animals are often strangled by
discarded fishing nets or six cans of plastic rings; more than 100 kinds of aquatic organisms contain plastic particles, including
human dishes: fish, shrimp, mussels and so on. Most of the time, these particles pass through the animal’s digestive system and are
discharged out of the body. It seems that nothing happens, but plastic particles can also block the digestive tract or puncture organs,
causing death, or filling the animal’s stomach, leading to loss of appetite and eventually starvation.
We should do something to save the situation.
