Britain's beaches blighted by litter due to increased use of 'wet wipes'

The video discusses the growing problem of litter on the Wirral beaches, focusing on wet wipes as a major contributor. Wet wipes, often used by parents and for makeup removal, do not disintegrate like paper and end up littering beaches and riversides. The video highlights a 6% increase in beach litter since 2013, with a 50% rise in wet wipes. Personal accounts reveal the convenience of flushing wipes, contributing to the issue.
