Poll: Should products come with a warning if they damage the environment?
THERE HAVE BEEN renewed calls for mandatory warnings on wet wipes, over concerns some brands are labelled as “flushable” despite the damage they can cause to the environment.

So we’re wondering: Should products come with a warning if they damage the environment?
