People be receiving fewer glittery Christmas cards this year as harmful microplastics have been banned across the European Union.
The European Commission has outlawed the sale of plastics smaller than five millimetres and that are intentionally added to products but do not dissolve or break down naturally.
One of the best pieces of news I’ve heard in my life. I hate glitter. It gets everywhere.
It’s also coarse, irritating, and rough
And it gets everywhere.
It’s the herpes of the craft world.
The herpes of art supplies.
“art” supplies
The non-plastic glitter that it will be replaced by is finer and lighter.
And sequins. I had a one night stand once with a woman who had a sequin dress on, I was finding random sequins multiple house moves later.
