I was very glad to hear that microbeads are finally to be banned in (most) cosmetics in the UK. 

I admit several years ago I used to buy face soaps with microbeads in them, until someone pointed out to me what an ecological disaster they are. I don’t think it had even dawned on me that they were made of plastic. I’ve tripped up a couple of times since, quickly picking up products in the supermarket only to realise later that I’ve just smothered my face in the things. It doesn’t feel good chucking an entire bottle of soap straight in the bin but it seems like the best option. Hopefully very soon it won’t be possible to make this mistake!

New zine! Jesty Pesty: Eco Worrier will be on sale at Small Press Day in Kelvingrove Museum this Saturday. It’s a minicomic based on some of my anxieties around living sustainably, struggling to make the right choices and balancing them with social expectations. All that in just 4 x 4 panel pages!
