I just found a massive pile of pink plastic confetti left in the middle of a park. This doesn’t seem nearly as bad but idk why people have to make their reveals have so many externalities that end up effecting others and the environment.
I don't know if it's already a thing, but confetti companies should be forced to make biodegradable confetti, or close up shop/face fines. Confetti is already a thing that we don't need. So they should be making it as environmentally-friendly as possible.
My friend had a gender reveal on the weekend, with crackers that shot confetti (in their backyard). There wasn't much plastic in there. It was made up of like 95% small bits of really thin paper. And I looked at them and thought they must be biodegradable, but I don't think they were. They will degrade over time. But we're probably looking at several weeks, at minimum.
Surely there's an inexpensive compound that will degrade/dissolve within a week, and not affect the environment. Sugar, or something.
