Question

Illinois bans plastic microbeads in beauty products due to environmental concerns. Yet, the first state to strongly take in concerns of banning microbeads to prevent plastic and water pollution. http://online.wsj.com/article/APf74dbe323f08413cbd83a75a941fb36d.html

Answer 1

California and NY's legislators are still thinking of banning them.

Hope all states will do that, especially the large and most populated states.
