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.
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.
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.
Funny story: A friened of mine worked in a sewage treatment plant when some government bureaucrat in a suit came in to do an inspection. As he showed the man around and told him how everything was working my friend walked on, then realized the bureaucrat was not right behind. HE was still out on the walkway looking down into the stirring mess when he spotted something, looked closer, and lost his balance! He tried to regain his footing, then tossed his brief case, grabbed his nose and fell right into the mess!
The joke was, “Do you know what sound a government bureaucrat makes when he splashes in a pool of s**t?
“BA-LOOP—PA!”
