My raincoat began to leak after stopping at the dry cleaners. Why?

Thanks for the info.

all my plastic goes in the recycle bin as long as it does not have grease.

Wow. I had NO idea about this, beyond knowing that petroleum is used in synthetic fabrics. I would guess most people are as uneducated about this as I was. It is so sad to learn about yet another way we have been so destructive to our planet. But, eye-opening information like this is sorely needed - - - and should be required reading for everyone. I thank Recyclebank for all it does in this regard! Everyone who reads the above article should share the information with their families, friends and co-workers.
