Microplastics found in supermarket fish, shellfish
I know this article is about more than just microbeads, but the thing that always angers me the most about this issue is that the people who decided to use them in shampoos and body washes must have known exactly what the long-term consequence was going to be, but went ahead and <i>did it anyway.</i><p>What kind of soulless, dead-eyed scumbag do you have to be to wilfully introduce something so utterly pointless and utterly destructive just to sell more shampoo? Microbeads didn't even contribute to the efficacy of the the product, they were literally just there to help with marketing. It's absolutely sickening and I wish the world had cottoned on sooner.
