NO GLITTER

Glitter is bad for the ENVIRONMENT and bad for PUBLIC HEALTH.
Glitter is made of PLASTIC (which is made of petroleum or natural gas) or sometimes metal, which are not easily biodegradable. And it is next to impossible to clean up.
Glitter is most likely not made in Los Angeles or in the United States so it has to be shipped from overseas, via boat or plane, which is also damaging to the environment.
Glitter is an IRRITANT TO EYES and lungs. If you throw glitter at someone you could give them an eye infection or worse, scratch their cornea.
People need to be held accountable to the predictable consequences of their actions. The predictable consequences of throwing glitter are environmental degradation and physical discomfort. If you find a way to clean up every piece of glitter you throw and are fine with paying someone’s medical bills, throw glitter. BUT NOT AT ME.
Are we really going to let some shiny pieces of plastic distract us from caring about our environment and each other?
And with that, I genuinely implore YOU to stop using glitter.

metal flake is not really metal it is a synthetic material like plastic and pretty much is the glitter you speak of, if you add it to your clear coat and then apply over your base coat color it equals a bitchin paint job on your bicycle and cool paint jobs are far more important than the ozone layer.

FUCK GLITTER! ! !
I agree with above reasons to hate and not use glitter. Not to mention the extreme faggity assed fairy fagness of it. Someone glittered me on the ACToyR recently and I was gracious enough to (& high enough) to just laugh and not whip some ass.
Although I also must say metal flake for your paintjob is different, and should be used when and wherever appropriate. Or more. Your helmet, frame, wheels, front door, car, bar stool and more should all be metal flake.
And there's nothing wrong with homosexuals, that's completely different than faggity assed fairy glitter fags.

For those that don't know, MOOP stands for matter out of place.
As for confetti, although it's less of a public health risk than glitter, it's still bad for the environment if you don't pick it up.
IF YOU TOSS IT IN THE AIR IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO TOSS IT IN THE TRASH.
And if you have to have confetti, MAKE IT YOURSELF.

this is why sustainability moves sooo slowly.
Problem:
Glitter / confetti sucks and is unnecessary.
Options:
1) Dont use glitter
2) But i like glitter sooo much, can we make it suck less?
Then Eco industry / marketing team:
Save the planet by using biodegradable confetti.
