@straightarrownews: Whimsymaxxing put rhinestones on everything, but where do they go when the trend’s over? Kylie Jenner’s gem-covered birthday cake pushed the microtrend mainstream: bedazzled cups, phone cases, even faces. Critics say sticking gems on single-use plastic turns crafts into instant trash. Nobody tracks rhinestones. The EPA’s latest count found U.S. landfills took in 27 million tons of plastic in 2018, nearly 1 in 5 tons of everything landfilled. Joy or waste — where do you land? #whimsymaxxing #microtrends #plasticpollution #Sustainability #straightarrow
