As a long time volunteer of the Destination Imagination K-College program (#STEAM based creativity challenges), I can say glitter is forever. But sometimes, eco friendly glitter is worth it.

Uncritically using the adopted terminology of the far right is not a good look.

Feel free to come back for my glitter after the billionaires’ private jets are grounded. 👍

Pretty sure a lot of schools & nurseries in the UK have already banned the use of glitter due to how harmful it is to the environment.

There is no such thing as cancel culture, it is a term made up by people who are scared of facing consequences for their actions when they didn't before. I agree that glitter can go.

I can't verify who it's attributed to, but I once heard:
"Glitter is the herpes of the special effects industry...it gets everywhere, and there's nothing you can do to get rid of it."
🤣

I've been griping about this for ages. It's banned in our house, as are hammer beads, which very nearly killed our washing machine.

I'd also want to see plastic confetti banned too, after seeing it sprinkled in the park by the registry office. What's wrong with dried flower petals, or rice, you can sprinkle those anywhere.

Things ppl who work in parks despise...

1. Glitter
2. Silly string
3. Any kind of confetti

All of those things makes keeping a park setting clean, an absolute nightmare!

I support this movement. That stuff gets everywhere. And I never even considered the fact that it’s micro-plastic.

I swear…the stuff we humans have wrought upon this planet. 🤦🏽‍♂️

when I taught Early Childhood, glitter was banned in the classroom. I STILL came home carrying the stuff every day.

A hundred thousand years from now, alien archeologist will find glitter on Earth and take it home with them, thereby perpetuating the cycle.

we actually bought an eco friendly biodegradable glitter and it still sucks. Yes. Let's cancel it!

protip, though: always have a small plastic packet of glitter with you. If you get abducted, sprinkle some in your hair and some on the floor of the guy's car.

No known human can ever clean up every piece of that shit, he'll get convicted sure.

My immediate thought as I started reading this post was 'I thought they'd locked him back up again anyway'.
It's probably my age 🙄

There is a reason why Burning Man has it under a constant man. It's utterly impossible to clean up after.

there is glitter made from the mineral mica now. Better for the environment and also less of a skin irritant when used in cosmetics.
I still find it on my scalp weeks after glittering my hair, but at least it itches less than the usual plastic stuff.

Peppa Pig explained it best (as it often does): https://youtu.be/t0XHqO9XNeY

when I was a kid it was understood that plastic was basically inert and non-toxic. Even if you ate it, it would just go straight through causing no issues. How wrong we were.

If you have little girls, glitter & stickers become the bane of your existence
