Biodegradable or compostable glitters may be part of the solution, but Ms Gay warned there are a couple of things to note, not least the cost.
"A kilo of regular cosmetic-grade glitter would be between $4 and $7; the compostable glitter starts at $130 a kilo," she said."And it does look like glitter. I swear no-one will be able to tell." Ironically, that might also be the biggest problem getting environmentally conscious partygoers on board — what's the point in paying a premium for compostable glitter if no-one knows?
"It is hard, but I think the more there's availability of [environmentally friendly] glitter and the more awareness of single-use plastics, not just glitter, then I think that will be the turning point," Ms Gay said."We're not going to save the planet in what we're doing, but we're doing our little bit and we feel that if everybody does their little bit, things will improve.
cut it out !!!!
