Did you know washing your face and brushing your teeth could be polluting our oceans? Tiny particles of plastic, known as microbeads, can be found in thousands of personal care products sold around the world. Microbeads are not biodegradable and once they enter the marine environment, they are impossible to remove. Fauna & Flora International explain more at fauna-flora.org/initiatives/the-good-scrub-guide/, where you can also download their Good Scrub Guide; a clear, non-biased tool to help consumers choose products that do not contain plastic microbeads.
