Plastics are polluting our beautiful planet. Bags, straws, packaging, discarded car tires...all bad. But the bigger worry is microbeads. Those tiny bits of plastic often come in producs like toothpaste, hair extensions and body scrubs.
Retailers are now focusing on that nice glittery stuff often found in and on Christmas ornaments.
Although it will help reducing the little pieces of plastic that turn up in the ocean (and therefore in the foodchain. So, yes, changes are you are digesting pure plastic when you have a nice piece of fish), it won't do as much good as banning synthetic clothing. Like the funny pinguin costume I like to wear on special occassions or that funny sweateryou got yourself for the Christmas party at work.
Every time we wash those, little pieces of plastic they end up where they don't belong: in the environment
Yes, it helps to ban glitter but is makes more sense to stop buying funny costumes.
I started to ban plastic bags and buying 'care' products containing microbeads and this years Christmas ornaments will contain no glitter. How will you contribute to the reducing of plastic waste?
