>Average microplastic shed into the environment from urban shoes per year per person is 100g.
I regularly hike local forests as part of a group that tries to keep the forest clean from trash.
We collect everything; bottles, wrappers, condoms, napkins, diapers, wet wipes etc. but then I realized we are contributing to the trash in form of microplastics from our footwear & clothes.
Any recommendations on natural fabric hike clothing for staying dry? Is anyone using leather soled shoes/boots? What are the options for leather, bamboo, tree, sugarcane soled hiking boots?
