The Issue

-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)
