Yes, it is very terrible. Recently in the USA they started banning products like facewash/shampoo/soap that have those tiny plastic beads in them(the microbeads).
We are slowly fixing such an obvious problem. Washing ourselves with microplastic, it goes down the drain, the drain goes into a river or a lake. So many simple fixes!!! You know what they did to fix this? They just use micro sand! Which supposedly is a lot better as sand is naturally occuring and sinks to the bottom :)
That's nice that a small step is being taken, yet, anything plastic can do, hemp can do better. The packaging on those said shampoos and washes is still made from plastic. It's like putting a bandaid on a brain haemorrhage to fix it.
Exactly!
