To be irritated by banning glitter

[drizzletits]

Just that really, nurseries banning the use of glitter and protesting on social
media to ban it. I understand the damage that it my be doing to the environment but why isn’t more done about bigger items impacting the environment. Like the stupid amount of packaging companies use for items every day that are taken to landfill and not recycled.

Thank God, environment > pretty sparkles

This is good news. Glitter is very non-environmentally friendly. Loving the link someone posted to the eco-glitter which biodegrades. I'm also pleased the government is thinking of taxing single use plastics, we can't recycle food packaging and things like yoghurt pots here so it all goes to landfill.

Thank fuck. Glitter is a fucking nightmare to get rid of.

I can't understand adults getting upset about not having glitter in their lives. I think it's good.

l’d love it if they banned balloon releases, Chinese lanterns & plastic duck races too!

Can we just ban balloons full stop. They are horrible things that last a few hours then go into landfill. My son is v phobic and they are everywhere.

This is a photo album dealing with a woman's struggle/journey to save her eye after getting craft glitter in her eye whilst making things with her daughter.

This is why I hate glitter.

It's also so messy, but another reason aside.

Please take a read but beware there are some images of puss-y eyes.

Wow, I had never even considered the impact of glitter on the environment. I wouldn't dream of buying microbeads...and I'm puzzled that this wasn't part of the awareness campaign surrounding that.
I went Xmas shopping yesterday and so much stuff is covered in glitter. Not just decorations but stationery, packaging, cosmetics, shoes, bags, and countless other things. Glitter everywhere. I will now avoid as much as possible, but I'm sincerely hoping that industry comes up with safe green alternatives quickly too.

There’s actually no such thing as edible glitter.

It’s just glitter that’s safe to pass through you in tact. It doesn’t break down and is still environmentally harmful.
