By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
No object screams bacchanalian melee quite like the beaded throws chucked at revelers along the Mardi Gras parade route each spring during Carnival. In New Orleans alone, krewes toss more than 25 million pounds of plastic beads each year as sloshed spectators clamor to collect. Unfortunately, the beads are more than just wasteful–they're toxic, according to the Ecology Center's Healthy Stuff Lab scientists.
