Our oceans are choking with plastic. Now, companies like Johnson & Johnson have unleashed “microbeads” -- tiny shards of plastic used as exfoliants in beauty products -- designed to be washed down the drain where they flow right past clean-up systems out to sea. These plastic pellets chemically attract and absorb toxins in the sewage, and are often mistaken for food by fish that gobble them up, allowing the pellets -- and the toxins along for the ride -- to work their way up the food chain. Many microbeads are so tiny that they show up in the bloodstreams of the animals that eat them, where they'll be lodged in the host until it dies. Tell Johnson & Johnson to remove microbeads from its products now!
