NEW YORK (FOX5NY) - The New York City Council's environmental protection committee will consider a bill next week that would fine any store that sells wet wipes often used for infants and adult personal hygiene unless they meet stiff new regulations.

Is the NYT even good enough to replace wipes?
Flush out your mouth.
“Stiff” regulations? That ain’t the idea, Brother.
Because wiping your @ss with the New York Times is clogging up the toilets?
*SNORT*
Man in NY City alley: “Psst! Hey buddy, ya wanna buy some wet wipes?”
They should know.
The NYC Council knows how to be the best ‘wipes’.
I will just buy them elsewhere and flush them when (if) I’m ever in NY
Wipe with yer left hand. It’s good enuff for the pigscrewing pedophile prophet moe-ham-head.
New York HATES Babies and Old People!
Flee! Run for your lives! Move to Wyoming!
Except you mid-30’s, ‘producers’ who produce NOTHING but Tax Revenue for your state! Don’t you peeps go ANYWHERE! Just take the current Beat Down that the LibTards send your way.
Paper or Plastic? Or is THAT also outlawed?
*Rolleyes*
I don’t have a problem with something like this. Most people don’t think about where their....stuff...goes when they flush the toilet.
In my young salad days, I dated a microbiologist-in-training, and part of his graduate work dealt with sewage treatment. He took me one day to the Blue Plains plant in DC.
It was kind of amazing to see how it all worked. At the time, he told me that one of the major problems they had came from folks flushing condoms.

Sure would not want to be a young goat in Turkey....
Anything to make life more difficult for parents and caregivers. Thanks!

The local sewage treatment plan ought to be a required field trip for HS students in urban schools.
A nearby city bans the use of plastic drinking straws by food vendors during their yearly week long rodeo because apparently too many of them end up in the storm drain where they create dams and blockages that cost serious money to remove.
In other news, shares in Amazon.com and Walmartonline went up again.
The use of baby wipes amongst adults has grown exponentially in recent years. And despite the "do not flush" admonitions on the package, they get flushed, where they play havoc on our sewage systems.
Notice how toilet paper dissolves when it get wet? It's designed that way. Baby wipes, on the other hand, are damn near indestructible.
This isn't just about busybody New York liberals. It's a real problem in need of a solution.
Yes.
I don’t believe in ‘anthropogenic’ climate change; but I definitely worry about pollution.
(I think field trips to local family farms should be required, too. Kids need to know where their food comes from, and something about the people who bring it to their tables. They couldn’t ‘see’ much at a big industrial farm; but at a family farm, they’d get a clue.)
They have been banned in my building. One clogged-up pipe can destroy a line of 20 apartments, and cause tens of thousands in water damage.
Regular baby wipes are a major problem for sewage treatment plants. They shouldn’t ban the flushable kind but it is quite reasonable to demand that these products meet requirements for dissolvability, etc.
