Ban plastic throws at Mardi Gras


Ban plastic throws at Mardi Gras
The Issue
Every year, locals and tourists participate in a local festival called Mardi Gras. Unwilling participants are inherently supporting an event that is one of the biggest consumers of plastic in America. Mardi Gras inherently supports the following issues
-slave labor(many plastic bead companies use forced labor)
-child labor
-climate change(plastic is a product of fossil fuels)
-destroying the pipe system of New Orleans(plastic beads clog the sewage system)
Be the change and sign the petition now! And create an environment for more ethical throws at Mardi Gras(glass or bioplastic beads)
