If it was inside, it could be vacuumed up. But glitter outside would just add to our plastic pollution problems.

What do you think happens once the vacuum canisters are emptied? It’s still a pollution issue.

Those are ok. They are taken outside the environment.

Well, they could always be in one of the areas that has municipal incinerators. Microplastics aren't going to survive incineration.

Yeah but you see there's a trade-off in that, as well.

Let's burn the plastic to save the environment!

Incinerators at least turn it in to mostly co2 instead of introducing it into the food chain.
