Scientist Calls For a Ban on Glitter – Gay Pride Enthusiasts Hardest Hit

CBS-

“I think all glitter should be banned, because it’s microplastic,” Dr. Trisia Farrelly of New Zealand’s Massey University said, via the Independent.

Microplastics are defined as plastics which are less than five millimeters in length. The small size of the craft supply reportedly makes them appealing for many animals, who eat the dangerous objects. A study by Professor Richard Thompson claimed that plastics were found in a third of all fish caught in Great Britain.

“I was quite concerned when somebody bought my daughters some shower gel that had glitter particles in it,” Thompson said. “That stuff is going to escape down the plughole and potentially enter the environment.”

Some British nurseries have already banned the products from their facilities as the country is expected to officially ban items which contain microbeads in 2018.

  1. Glitter is the herpes of the arts and crafts scene. That crap gets everywhere and stays everywhere. And it’s a dead giveaway that you’ve been at the titty bar. A pox on the house of glitter.

  2. I Don’t think Glitter is something we should have ever had in the first place.
    The Mylar Balloon is next, and the first person to create the Superior
    Mylar Replacement could presumably become a Billionaire if they keep the rights !

  3. @Plutonium: I am surprised Mylar floats haven’t yet been used in a coordinated terrorist attack on the electrical grid.

    Now then, the song “Rock and Roll Part 2” will now be attributed to the pedophile called Gary.
