Ah! That fresh feel after you wash your face with your favorite scrub. However, little do you know that washing with that scrub is contributing to pollution, and in a very harsh way. Scientists speculate that some hand soaps, scrubs, and even toothpastes have polyethylene (PE). These small beads travel down your bathroom sink, into rivers and streams, ultimately empting into the ocean. Scientists speculate that these beads might be getting into fish diets, and ultimately our diets. The thing that can make us feel fresh also has the ability to kill us!
