太常洗牛仔裤可能会造成污染?!
你是牛仔裤爱好者么?
如果是,那么你一定听说过这个潮人文化——“养牛”!
不过,此“养牛”非彼养牛
今天咱们要说的“养牛”是牛仔裤玩家的行话,简单点儿说呢它的真谛就是牛仔裤常穿少洗,穿出专属于自己的“味道”。
一个灵魂问题:
大家平时多久洗一次牛仔裤呢?
听说”养牛“的人一年半载的都不洗?
这让洁癖爱好者如何是好……
关于牛仔裤多久洗一次,一起来看看科学家咋说的吧~
You may know that things like car emissions (排放) and plastics (塑料) are bad for our Earth. But how about washing your jeans?
汽车尾气、塑料填埋对环境有害,这我们都知道。一个不知道算不算冷知识的冷知识:太常洗牛仔裤也会造成环境污染。
Scientists find that washing a pair of jeans can give out about 56,000 microfibers (微纤维). These fibers are less than 5 millimeters (毫米) long. They can go from our washing machines all the way to the oceans. This is bad for Earth and even harms (危害) our health.
科学家们发现,洗一条牛仔裤会释放56000根微纤维——这些微纤维不足5毫米长,随着洗衣机里的水一块排出,直到海洋。这对地球有害,甚至会危害我们的健康。
Journey of jeans’ microfibers
Do you wash your jeans every time after you wear them? US company Levis made a report. It says that washing jeans after 10 uses instead of two is better. This can cut energy (能源) use by up to 80 percent.
每次穿过牛仔裤之后,你都会立马洗吗?美国牛仔裤品牌李维斯发布了一份报告:牛仔裤穿十次再洗,比穿两次就洗更好——这能够减少80%的能源消耗
Jeans can still be clean without washing
牛仔裤不洗也可以很干净
Scientists tested jeans without washing them for 15 months. They then washed the jeans and tested them after two weeks of wear. Surprisingly, the bacteria level (细菌水平) of the two tests wasn’t very different.
科学家们还检测了一批15个月没有清洗的牛仔裤。他们将这批牛仔裤集中洗干净后又让人穿了两周,再次检测。令人惊讶的是,15个月没洗的牛仔裤,和洗过才穿了两周的牛仔裤上的细菌水平并没有很大区别。
