War on glitter: Scientists and environmentalists move to ban the use of sparkly microplastics

Glitter — looks good, but experts say it causes more harm than good.
At first it was just a ban on single-use plastic bags, then it was helium balloons, now it looks like scientists and environmentalists want to ban the use of glitter.

Scientists from the United Kingdom to New Zealand are now calling for a glitter ban to further address the environmental impact of plastics.

The Big Melt
By Jeffrey Kluger | Photographs by Marco Zorzanello
It took a long time for the Earth to create the Alps—a lot longer than it’s taking humans to wreck them. The Alpine mountain range first rose an estimated 44 million years ago, when the great African plate began creeping northward, breaking and upthrusting the European plate. The newborn peaks did not stop growing until 9 million years ago, and it would be millions more years before the glaciers and snow that are their signature feature would be in place.

IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL DAILY BRIEF
A MONUMENTAL SHOWDOWN
THE FEDERAL LANDS DOSSIER
This is an OZY Special Briefing, an extension of the Presidential Daily Brief. The Special Briefing tells you what you need to know about an important issue, individual or story that is making news. Each one serves up an interesting selection of facts, opinions, images and videos in order to catch you up and vault you ahead.

WHAT TO KNOW

What happened? A potentially landmark decision on U.S. federal lands. President Donald Trump signed orders on Monday to dramatically cut two federally protected areas in Utah by more than 2 million acres in an effort to “reverse federal overreach.” The two national monuments, Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante, were created under previous Democratic administrations using the Antiquities Act to guard against drilling and mining. Now those protected areas will be cut by more than half.

Why does it matter? The move represents the biggest rollback of federally protected land in U.S. history and signals the beginning of additional reductions. The president has promised “wonder and wealth” as a result of the decision and other recent edicts that remove habitat protections and ease drilling regulations for mineral and oil and gas companies on federal lands. The move has been met by passionate opposition from Democrats and conservation groups, and several environmental groups and five Native American tribes have already filed lawsuits in response.

Power plants have been the biggest source of U.S. CO2 emissions since the 1970s—until now.

For the first time in 40 years, power plants are no longer the biggest source of U.S. greenhouse gas pollution. That dubious distinction now belongs to the transport sector: cars, trucks, planes, trains and boats. The big reversal didn’t happen because transportation emissions have been increasing, but rather came from the cleanup of America’s electric grid.\

Despite calls from the Prime Minister to keep the coal-powered Liddell Power Station open, AGL has announced it will close the plant and repurpose it with a commitment to clean energy.

edit

The Federal Government wanted to delay the closure of the plant for at least another five years, but AGL said a replacement electricity generation plan was far more affordable.

"We need to listen to AGL here, we need to switch off coal and move to renewables as fast as we can," she said.
Ms O'Shanassy said the Turnbull Government must now drop its obsession with coal and end its delaying tactics on climate change action.

"Keeping Liddell polluting for another five years was nothing more than a poorly informed thought bubble from the Prime Minister.
