What the petition asks
Wet wipes are a serious problem with the environment, being that they take years to deteriorate and are being flushed when they shouldn't be.
On the other hand, the flushable wipes are just as bad, if not even worse, as they are being listed as a danger to the aquatic life. There should be a fine, once these are banned, for any household drains that have been clogged with wet wipes. In this day and age, with our steps towards climate change, the little steps are the ones that matter most.
