The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) is bringing its monster made of wet wipes to the Looe Festival of the Sea (Sunday, June 4) to highlight why being a ‘flusher’ in the bathroom rather than a ‘binner’ is bad for the bathing water quality at beaches like East Looe.

The charity says flushing anything but “the 3Ps” – pee, poo and paper - down the loo can lead to blocked drains resulting in pollution on beaches and in the sea.   

Three metres tall and eight metres wide, ‘Wallace’ will be on show at East Looe beach as part of the Looe Marine Conservation Group Festival of the Sea.
