    Hello
    Its quite terrifying to know how far and far-reaching this problem is. I never knew until reading the newspaper yesterday, that micro beads are actually in toothpaste and lipbalm!

    I completely support your action and will sign your petition right away.

    I really hope that many many people will stop and think about the "plastic" sword that's hanging above our beautiful world.

    Erg geschrokken van berichtgeving in "groene" Telegraaf van 1 september j.l..

    Dit moet absoluut een halt toegeroepen worden, straks wordt dit nog verwerkt in levensmiddelen.

    Misschien kunnen deze microplastics in de wegenbouw gebruikt worden?

    Deze actie steun ik van harte. Zelfs maak ik leuke en nuttige objecten van plastic emballages en geef ook workshop om het plastic te verwerken. Het is maar een klein begin. Succes met de actie!
