Agree that these are steps in the right direction. As a society weneed to have a conversation about sources of micro plastics. The vast majority come from things we don't immediately put in the "obviously this is a source of micro plastics" category like synthetic fibers in textiles and tires. Banning plastic micro beads is a good thing to do, but if it's not followed up with more action it could easily be misconstrued as "we're doing something!" without substantially addressing the problem.
