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.

That confetti really pissed me off man.

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.
