No Person, Company or Government agency shall manufacture Microbeads or add microbeads to cosmetics, soaps or similar products

  • van: Dj Gibson
  • ontvanger: MPP Marie-France Lalonde, this Petition is in support of Bill 75, the Microbead Elimination and Monitoring Act 2015, brought forward by MPP Marie-France Lalonde

Over the years Microbeads and Microplastics have been entering our eco system.  Microplastics come from plastic (garbage) in our environment that break down into smaller and smaller bits of plastic and wash into our rivers, lakes and streams.  Microbeads also very small and are manufactured as an additive for industrial processes, and in home and personal care products.  These wash through our sewage treatment process unobstructed and then enter our rivers and lakes.

Microplastics and Microbeads have been detected in the Great Lakes and in a recent study released by the Canadian Government, Microplastics and Microbeads in a significant quantity can have harmful effects to aquatic life forms.

Who Should Sign this Petition?

People who care about our environment. People that want to be informed about the contents of the products they use and want Microplastics and Microbeads removed from consumer products. People that want the Great Lakes and other waterways regularly monitored for Microplastics and Microbeads and the data made available to the public.
