Tell David Cameron to ban microbeads

Harmful plastic "microbeads" are unnecessarily put in the face scrubs and toothpastes we use every day. They are too small to be filtered, so end up in our oceans - and the creatures swimming in them.

David Cameron must follow other world leaders like President Obama and the Canadian Prime Minister who've banned companies from using these wholly unnecessary bits of plastic.

Take action today. Sign this petition and urge David Cameron to do all he can to ban these destructive plastics.

Dear Prime Minister Cameron,

Please follow President Obama and other world leaders by banning the use of polluting plastic microbeads. Plastic microbeads are needlessly used in cosmetics. They damage our oceans and the creatures that live in them.
