A friend a few years ago told me he’d been prescribed medication for high blood pressure. I asked why he didn’t try non-pharmaceutical remedies. His response: “My doctor said it’s easier to medicate than to get people to change their habits.”Does something similar apply to curing the problems that wipes are causing in wastewater collections systems? Is it possible to teach millions upon millions of people not to flush things down the toilet that don’t disintegrate like toilet paper? Or is it better for a clean-water agency to install equipment to grind up the offending items? Or for wipes producers
