JOIN THE FAIR PLAY TEAM
Isabel knows the consequences of flushing waste down the toilet and knows that the solution is in her hands: to empty the wipes in the bin. Join our team to take care of water and the environment.
ONLY TOILET PAPER IN THE TOILET
Unlike toilet paper, wipes do not break down in the time it takes to reach the treatment plants, just a few hours. They are made up of synthetic fibers that cause them to fray and form skeins in the water, which can clog your home's pipes and treatment plants.
THROW YOUR WASTE IN STREET BINS TOO
Cigarette butts, chewing gum, papers, bags, bottles... Everything that ends up on the ground and is not collected in time, in addition to dirtying the city, reaches the sewer network washed away by rainwater. Write down a winning play and, on the street, basket all the waste in the bin.
USED OIL, AT THE RECYCLING CENTER
If you throw used oil down the sink, you are making a mistake that not only harms the environment, but also favors blockages in the sanitation network of your home. The solution is easy: recycle it in a plastic bottle and basket it at the recycling center.
The Journey of the Wipe
Find out how the simple act of flushing a wipe down the toilet can severely impact the sewer system and the environment. A small change in our habits can make all the difference, protecting the water and the environment. Remember: Play fair, the wipes in the trash.

TAKE CARE OF THE ENVIRONMENTYOU CAN RAIN
IT NEVER RAINS AS MUCH AS WE WOULD LIKE
Luckily, you can rain. All of us can rain. Do you want to know how? Every time you do those small gestures in your daily life to save water, it is actually raining.
WHEN YOU SHOWER QUICKLY
It is much better to shower than to take a bath. And if your shower is fast, every drop you save is a storm in your bathroom.
WHEN YOU FILL THE WASHER AND THE DISHWASHER WELL
When you fill the dishwasher and washing machine to the maximum, it is raining. Because it is the most effective way to save water, and every drop you save is a drop of rain.
WHEN YOU INSTALL DRIP IRRIGATION OR PUT IN NATIVE PLANTS
Drop by drop, we can all rain a little more. Like when we install drip irrigation or put native plants that consume less water instead of grass.

Whether you're doing the dishes, brushing your teeth or showering yourself, turning off the tap helps prevent a good downpour.
