K - 6. Sorry but they loved glitter in K and 1,2. There was NO removing it entirely from the Indoor outdoor carpet.
It became an imbedded part of the pile,stuff sucks

Tan the hides, paint them with biodegradable sheen, then mince them... Why not?

So why fight it. Just evenly glitter the carpet.

#6: "glitter is cheap, order a semi load of it before they ban it!"

Who would have thought that they'd ban Christmas tree tinsel "icicles" but they did. Tinsel at Christmastime used to be common, and the heavy, shiny tinsel was beautiful. Not now. They aren't allowed to make it anymore.

I have no need for glitter but if they are going to ban it, I'm going to stock up …

I love the look of glitter but hate getting it on my skin, especially my face because at least some of it always gets in my eyes.

Glitter is nothing compared to all the tons of microbeads

If Obama was still president he probably would ban glittet just like the sob banned asthma sprays so I can’t breathe. If anyone in the trump admin or anyone that had influence with the trumpster follows us please bring back the cloraflorarbon asthma sprays.

As a wedding caterer, I couldn’t agree more!! I’ve said many times that glitter use should be a misdemeanor, with a caning as punishment.

Great idea. Do the floors with glitter. Remember when ceilings had glitter?

I think Milo got banned on Twitter and now posts on Glitter. What would they call a Glitter post? A Gleet?

Glitter is one member of a large family of microplastics—tiny little bits of plastic less than five millimeters in size. Think microbeads, microfibers and fingernail-sized fragments of much larger plastic wastes that have broken down over time. When washed or flushed away, microplastics make their way into our oceans and great lakes, slowly accumulating over time, creating all sorts of health and environmental hazards, the full breadth of which is still being grasped.

Strangely enough, no.

My brother is a management-level civil engineer in a research facility that requires more-than-usual cleanliness.

A couple of years back they had glitter falling off of TWO Christmas cards which had been brought into the facility, and even with state-of-the-art technologies they have not been able to get rid of all of this stuff to this very day.
