There is some good news for the environment. The British government has banned the use of plastic particles (微粒) in cosmetics (化妆品) and other personal care products.
Plastic microbeads or tiny solid plastic particles (use) mostly in cosmetics production, face washes, toothpastes and other products. When we use these things, the plastic microbeads get into our pipes that carry water, and (eventual) end up in the ocean. Plastic in the ocean puts fish and plants danger, and even causes them to die.
(official)say that the ban will prevent water pollution and in the meantime help with the (protect) of ocean life. "The ban will stop billions of pieces of plastic entering our ecosystem, thus (help) to conserve our precious seas and oceans, "Former Prime Minister Theresa May ever wrote on Twitter.
Therese Coffey, then the Environment Minister of the UK, said, "The world's seas and oceans are some of our most (value) natural things. And we do now is to deal with the plastic that causes great damage to our sea life. "He also added, "Actually, amount of natural green things that we can take advantage of (make) personal care products is huge, and therefore the use of plastic microbeads should be abandoned.”
