With such a push against single use plastic and mirco plastics etc. Why is glitter left untouched? surely it has to be one of the worse plastic pollutants. Currently getting our Christmas shop ready, and its on everything and gets everywhere!

I’ll never argue in favor of glitter, but if we’re discussing micro plastics there’s this:

All the synthetic shit cloth you wear and/or sleep on has impact.
Likely to make more impact on this microplastic by buying cotton or bamboo than trying to ban glitter.
Damn, dude. I never even thought of synthetic fabrics as a source. Plastic is one of the worst things we could have ever made.
It's also one of the most useful things we've ever made. Medical devices alone. The problem is mismanagement and overuse for profit by bad actors who lied to the world and said not to worry cause it's all being reused again and again in this closed feedback loop called recycling
very good point
