KEEP UP
The House of Representatives just voted to ban micro beads in personal care products in order to protect oceans and fish from destruction. The little beads that are in toothpastes and face washes are not detected by water treatment plants and thus sneak out to the ocean undetected. The effects of these beads? They have turned up in swordfish and tuna which kills them. It is not simply getting a few beads in the ocean. In a tube of face wash there are at least 300,o00 beads. These little beads are costing a huge deal to the ocean environment. Several states have already enacted bans but now it will apply to the whole US, a huge win for oceans.
