Litter warning after gender reveal confetti left in Shrewsbury woods

  1. Oh dear, another ‘tradition’ imported from the US by people wanting to sell us tat, that quite frankly we can probably live without.

  2. Confetti of all things, why can’t it be made biodegradable? It’s just cut up pieces of what could be anything. Mix it with crushed insects if you need different colors. Also, you don’t need different colors. Use non-flammable lighting to shine off of it, if you’re desperate.

  3. The problem with stuff like this is too many people don’t consider it littering.

    Just look at November and all the fireworks being set off. Try to tell people to stop littering fireworks everywhere and all you get is abuse from people calling you “miserable”.

  4. I think we should put a tax on each item to cover how much it costs to clean up each year.

    You want to litter? Fine go ahead. No problem. But dont complain when confetti costs £100 because we had to send the cleaners all the way into the bloody woods to clean up after you.

  5. Really strange place to have any sort of party. I don’t go around Haughmond hill that much but you’d have to drive out there, and then lug that shit into the woods?

    There are far, far better places to throw your cringe party

  6. I don’t know anyone with kids who didn’t do their “gender reveal” by text message or at worst Facebook/Instagram post.

    And tbf none of them done a fucking gender reveal, they just announced that their kid had been born.

    What is this shite and who are these people?

  7. I said this on another post about gender reveals yesterday but I just don’t understand the point of them. I could MAYBE understand it for the parents to do a fun thing to find out the gender but having an actual party about it?

    Everyone has to cheer regardless. None of the friends or family members care if it’s a boy or a girl. They just cheer because…reasons? If you asked someone why they were cheering they’d say ‘ohh because it’s a boy’ but they’d cheer if it was a girl as well anyway?

    It’s so stupid. I just can’t get my head round it.

  8. i HATE gender reveal parties. i hate this whole american trend of needing a party for everything. but if you’re going to do it, don’t be an absolute fucking melt and litter/start a fire/insert other knobbish consequence. just get a cake and stop making everything a spectacle for instagram

  9. People are focusing too much on the gender reveal party and not the confetti. It is just another scourge on the environment, similar to glitter, that causes so much unnecessary pollution and contributes to microplastic accumulation in nature. Companies need to do more to make it biodegradable or to phase it out completely.

  10. I feel like this needs to be said on every post about this kinda crap.

    NOBODY GIVES A SHIT ABOUT IT HE GENDER OF YOUR UNBORN CHILD.

  11. What about natural confetti, like real flower petals. Would that be ok?. Just thought I would mention that, in case someone is worried about using confetti in the future.

  12. I actually don’t see an issue with gender reveals like everyone else seems to, I wouldn’t have one myself but I think life can be long and miserable and you’ve got to have fun and celebrate where you can! The issue is when you make a massive mess for everyone else to clear up
