Summer is here... nothing more pleasing than using a sugar scrub to give you glowing skin. The big question you should ask yourself is what's in the one for your outdoor shower? . . Many brands contain microbeads which are tiny plastic particles that are added to give an exfoliating action. When these products are rinsed off, the microbeads are washed down the drain and into rivers and oceans as they are too small to be filtered out at water treatment plants. . Nature claims that the "naturally beautiful results" promised by plastic microbeads are in fact a serious pollutant to the oceans' ecosystem and can even get into the human foodchain. . . So what's the deal? 'Trillions of tiny pieces of plastic are accumulating in the world’s oceans, lakes and estuaries, harming marine life and entering the food chain,' says Environmental Audit Committee Chair Mary Creagh MP, 'The microbeads in scrubs and shower gels are an avoidable part of this plastic pollution problem. A single shower can result in 100,000 plastic particles entering the ocean.' So please choose safer scrubs this summer, especially for those outdoor showers at your beach house.. what comes off your body goes right into the earth, into lakes, streams and the sea. . .
