'No' to microbeads in cosmetics


CALIFORNIA is set to ban the sale of cosmetic products, such as facial scrubs, containing tiny plastic beads that find their way into waterways and the ocean.

Democratic Assemblyman Richard Bloom plans to introduce a bill that would ban the sale of products containing the microbeads, which are too small to be removed by water treatment processes after they drain out of sinks and showers.
