I use the face wipes and always bin them, would never dream of flushing any sort of wipe..

When the huge fatberg was discovered in out town, wet wipes were found to be the worst culprit. I don't think I have ever flushed one away but I do use them occasionally and bin them.

So shocked to read the article about the above on BBC webpage this morning. I honestly did not realise they contained plastic. I use them in the form of floor wipes, and kitchen and bathroom surface wipes. Only yesterday as i was polishing using a spray can i thought i am going to get some of the furniture wipes once this can is empty. Now the ones i do have will go in the bin and i defo wont be buying anymore. The impact they have on our sewage works and rivers is dreadful. Listening to programmes on the radio and hearing the newcasts about climate change is starting to have me really thinking about what i use and what is happening in the world. Anyone else had a lightbulb moment about the enviroment and what you can do to help.?
