Did you know that many people still flush their waste down the toilet, effecting not only the sewage systems in cities, but also the health of our ocean and waters ??? #MissionOcean & Waters project @climarest reveals that cotton buds, contact lenses and wet wipes are just some of the products that end up in our rivers and seas, polluting and harming #marine life ??. The problem is not just carelessness, but also the mislabelling of products as ‘flushable’, which creates further confusion.
