Carla Bruni shares her 5-year-old niece’s letter to Emmanuel Macron to save the ‘shines’

This Sunday, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy posted a photo of a handwritten letter on her Instagram page. The author is none other than her niece, as the singer notes in the caption. “Here’s a letter my niece Anais, 5 years old, wrote to President Macron about the glitter ban. I can’t help but post it to give you a little smile, my friends.” The missive was written by the little girl’s mother, Consuelo Remert, who is the half-sister of Carla Bruni, the daughter of Brazil-based businessman Maurizio Remert and Marcia de Luca. We find a request to save the glow, signed by a child. Nicolas Sarkozy’s wife adds hashtags: #sauvonslespaillettes #comitededefensedespaillettes #activisteenherbe. Indeed, since October 15, the European Commission has decided to limit microplastics that are intentionally placed in products (cosmetic, medical, household, sports, etc.) and to ban “loose glitters.”

It is enough to push the new activist to pick up the pen. “I love glitter because it sparkles and is so pretty. France will be sad without shine. I know glitter is bad for the planet because it has microplastic particles in it.” And to support his request, the child offers two proposals. “Since I love science, my friends and I will try to make glitter without plastic. Meanwhile, could plastic water bottles be banned rather than glitter? And sign a polite resolution.

The publication failed to generate a response from Carla Bruni’s community, which welcomed the initiative as well as the adorable nature of the letter; witty and relentlessly logical”; “We should all write to him. No to life without shine…”

We can also tell the little girl that some brands have developed biodegradable glitter, such as Si si La Paillette or Manucurist.
