Don't flush wetwipes
The UK recently announced a 25 year plan to eradicate avoidable plastic waste which includes single use products like wet wipes, which contain non-biodegradable plastic.
Manufacturers will either have to create plastic-free wipes or people will have to go without them, the BBC reports.
We invited Seven Sharp to Moa Point (one of our wastewater treatment plants) yesterday afternoon, for a closer look at what happens to the wetwipes you flush down the toilet, and to talk about why you should only flush the 3P's - pee, poo and paper [toilet paper].

What word sums up 2024, neighbours?
If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....
In one word, how would you define 2024?
We're excited to see what you come up with!
OH ME OF LITTLE FAITH
Watching the Black Caps in their T20 match against Shri Lanka last night i gave up when it was such a one-sided game at Mt Maunganui with the NZ side in the process of getting slaughtered.
So I tuned the tv set to Netflex and a movie named The Hunted - a movie banned in USA that despicted ghastly right wing deplorables venerated by Trump doing horrific things.
Well I gave the movie away before its completion and switched to the cricket after its completion.
Somehow brillance in mouthfuls had taken the Black Caps to new heights and they had impossibly won the match before a crowded house of over 10,000 spectators.
What did I miss!!! Only Trump's demise would have been better.
