Our seas and oceans are becoming full of plastic and pollution, a lot of this comes from sewage pipes.

Put simply, the only things that should be flushed down the toilet are poop. wee and toilet roll. Unlike other types of wipes and paper, toilet paper is designed to break up easily when is wet. As well as helping the environment and marine wildlife, not using your toilet as a 'wet bin' can also reduce the risk ot toilet and drain blockages.
