As the UK works to ban wet wipes...what did the old timers use on their babies? "In continued efforts to clamp down on plastic waste, British lawmakers are planning to ban wet wipes in the UK..." https://www.ecowatch.com/wet-wipes-ban-uk-2566716761.html
Goodness, why do they have to give up basic necessities to help the environment??? They've gone too far!
Really, just don't flush them. A visit by Roto-Rooter is pretty expensive. I've never seen them in rivers in the USA. But there are lots of plastic bags and other plastic trash in USA rivers -- which eventually goes to make trash islands in the oceans.
funny thing is... the biggest trash area is in the pacific ocean and the smog is out that way also, in the backyards of all the 'do- gooders' & environmentalists ( notice that 'mental' is the root of environmentalists)
When I was little we had hard toilet paper, a bit like grease proof paper. Trust me you used as little as possible!
Cloths were used to clean backsides and nappies (diapers) were cloth towelling, two large safety pins and rubber pants with elastic in the waist and leg holes. The cloths and towelling nappies were emptied and washed. They were washed in an old fashion top loader, put through the mangle, spun it a spin drier and then pegged out on the washing line. In winter, sat on clothes horses in front of the fire. It's a lazy throw away society now. People will puke if they had to go back to that.
Yes, if the UK really wanted to do some good for the environment they would go to these other Third World countries where the pollution is worst.
People are hopelessly worried about global warming, which may or may not be real, about which nothing can be done, when packaging is the biggest scandal in the history of the world.
"The United Kingdom this week addressed the global water crisis by banning its use across Great Britain (excluding NI). From October 2nd any persons found in possession of or under the influence of water will be subject to a 24 month prison sentence."
