In their defence, glitter does get everywhere!

Schools are banning non-biodegradable glitter and looking to ditch Christmas crackers amid calls to introduce more eco-friendly festive initiatives.

The young Swedish activist has inspired many pupils in UK schools to call for greater change in recent years, school leaders have said. Mrs Prescott told PA: “It was really welcomed by the parents, but also by the girls. They’re quite environmentally conscious and they’re very into sustainability and they like the idea that something that isn’t worn out they can recycle and pass on to somebody else who can use it the following year.”Glitter is not allowed at the private girls’ school due to its impact on the environment.

Graham Frost, head of Robert Ferguson Primary School in Carlisle, has banned non-biodegradable glitter from this year due to environmental concerns. At Canary Worth College Glenworth, a primary school in London, old boxes were used for the scenery, and old clothes and rags for the costumes, in the nativity production in order to be more sustainable.
