Why microbeads in shower gels are bad for marine life

 

 



You know those little lumpy plastic bits in your shower gel, toothpaste or face wash?
They're called microbeads and they're damaging marine life.

Environmentalists say the little bits
bypass/buzz water filters and travel into the sea where they're eaten by fish. They're non-biodegradable/biodegradable so they don't break down.

objectives/alternatives are already available such as oatmeal, sea salt and ground nut shells.
