Non degradable baby wipes pollution

[LittleLottieChaos]

Why are people even buying these still? Why are they being produced? There are so many degradable wipe options now.

Also, how thick do you have to be to be flushing them down the toilet? Honestly.

I agree with you. I also don't understand why there is plastic in wet wipes, I've clearly missed something.

I can't believe it either. Why are we still producing this stuff?

We need proper legislation that stops these damaging things being produced. COP26 needs to focus on the big things like coal and gas and also the smaller things like bloomin wipes.

But there are still people that flush tampons and condoms, so I despair!

@MrsTumbletap the tampon/condom flushers have to be up there with the most rancid human beings to exist.

But then there are still threads on here with people proudly saying they shower for 15 minutes every day and do laundry every day, and use a fresh cup every time they make drink. It all contributes to raising the temperature of the planet.

@LittleLottieChaos indeed!
