Glitter can add a beautiful sheen to lotions and other cosmetics. But its effects on the ocean arent so pretty.
Already banned in Cambodia and Vietnam
“..the new biodegradable glitter..”
I was doing field work overseas and they used biodegradable flagging tape (for surveyors) to tie on stakes and trees. The local native women would take it and make “grass” skirts out of it. We all figured it would take too long to watch them degrade to invisible! (Hint - they wouldn’t take the red or orange flagging - but they loved the blue and yellow.)
I’ll bite, out of curiosity since I don’t think you’d tell us a lie on purpose.
What about civil engineering needs that kind of cleanliness. It couldn’t be something about roadways or other civil engineering projects that I ever heard about, where nobody would care if grass, pollen, etc. got into it -= let alone glitter bits.
What in the world are the gays of Cambodia and Vietnam going to do when on a tear now? No glitter!
In fact why don’t they make it required to have at least ten tubes of glitter in every bridge. Or something. If it started disintegrating, it would soon become obvious.
Glitter boy LOL!
Glad you asked. My brother is a management-level engineer in charge of the building, repair and maintenance of labs at the Applied Physics Labs at Johns Hopkins.
