Learn about microbeads with Defender Radio
That’s why LUSH Cosmetics has gotten involved. Known for their support of grass roots organizations like The Fur-Bearers, LUSH is standing tall with Ottawa Riverkeeper. The non-profit, which works on numerous projects around the Ottawa River and its watershed, is hoping to clean up and protect the ecosystem from microbead contamination.
Microbeads are showing up in all manner of habitats – including those of semi-aquatic mammals like river otters, beavers and muskrats. While no studies have confirmed the presence of microbeads that far up the food chain, we know it is a matter of time before the consequences become more drastic and apparent.
Please take a moment to visit the LUSH Charity Pot campaign page for #banthebead. The Charity Pot program has been a huge help to our work on the #MakeFurHistory campaign and other programs that help fur-bearing animals. And in time, this one will, too.
Work like our growing Living With Wildlife campaign is only possible with the support of monthly donors. Please consider become a monthly donor – for as little as $5 a month – and help us create a Canada that is truly fur-free.
