Rejected petition Ban the use of non-biodegradable glitter on greetings cards sold in the UK.

With the evidence building against the use of microplastics and their detrimental effect on the environment, glitter seems to have been forgotten. However, more and more greetings cards, particularly at Christmas, have glitter. I move that only biodegradable glitter or no glitter at all be used.
