Symptoms of "done" shorts?

[zoom-zoom]

Are the fibers recyclable?

I'd feel a lot better about tossing shorts out if I wasn't putting all that plastic in the trash (rather than washing it down the drain a few molecules at a time ).

I've wondered that, myself. As I contemplate tossing my first pair of shorts I wonder if they are going to sit in a landfill for a few eons.
