Whoosh! Why You Should Think Before You Flush! <div class=

Your Toilet’s Not a Trash Can

I-dont-flush-156x120“Things I flush down the toilet: Number one, number two, toilet paper. That’s it. How long is your list? Because that should be it, my friend.”—Canadian comedian/actor Ennis Esmer and “I Don’t Flush” campaign supporter

As a follow up to our 9 Things to Avoid Flushing blog a few months ago, we humbly share this short video from the I Don’t Flush campaign as a reminder to us all.

Key “Leave Behinds”

(Sorry, we couldn’t resist the pun!)

  • Don’t use your toilet as a trash can
  • Flushing something even as small as dental floss can cause serious blockages in your sewer system
  • Lakes and rivers become polluted when the wrong things are flushed
  • Choose products that don’t require disposal, like washcloths instead of wipes
