Help stop the wet wipe mountain on our beaches. Sign the petition today!
The labelling on wet wipes is misleading, so they end up getting flushed down the loo. Then, they team up with fats, oils and greases to make giant ‘fatbergs’. Some are as big as a double decker bus, blocking our sewers. After heavy rain, raw sewage then has nowhere to go so can end up in our seas and on our beaches.
Now’s the time to STOP sewage and unflushables on our beaches!
If you piled up skips full of all the unflushable stuff found in our sewers, it could reach as high as Everest.
The Great British Beach Clean has found a 700% increase in wet wipes on our beaches in the last decade, with almost 14 wet wipes per 100m. These wipes can be mistaken for food by all sorts of precious marine life.
Over 10,000 people have signed the Marine Conservation Society’s petition for clearer wet wipe labelling which they will submit to trade organisation Edana next week.
Please join them by signing the petition here!
