Dump Your Trash, Not the Toilets! A Word from Elizabeth Banks
Abusive Behavior Alert: Elizabeth Banks Urges Public to Cease Treating Toilets as Waste Bins - Avoid Treating Toilets as a Trash Bin, Elizabeth Banks Urges
Got a dirty little secret? Stop flushing it down the john! Elizabeth Banks, the actress known for her roles in Charlie’s Angels and The Hunger Games, has a cautionary tale to share. During a chat on The Kelly Clarkson Show, she reminisced about her early days as a chambermaid at a bed and breakfast, where she had to cleaning those unsavory porcelain thrones. And let me tell you, the messy guests left behind was nothing short of mind-boggling!
"Geez Louise, would y'all quit flushing condoms and tampons down the toilet? I was just a teenager back then, scrubbing out those stinky pans!" Banks exclaimed, clearly still grossed out by the experience. "It's just disrespectful, and it's not glamorous."

In her youth, Banks learned the hard way that life's not always a walk in the park. "You end up in some pretty wild places, and I always think: It could be worse," she said with a shrug. "Those toilets at the bed and breakfast were far from glamorous, but they taught me a valuable lesson."
Now, Banks is using her fame to spread a message of awareness and responsibility for hotel guests. Keep your trash to yourself, people!
I'm not going to be able to maintain a sustainable-living lifestyle if everyone continues to disregard home-and-garden practices like not flushing inappropriate items down the toilet, as exhibited by Elizabeth Banks' experience at a bed and breakfast. It's time for a lifestyle change, starting with responsible disposal of waste in hotels like those taught to us by Elizabeth Banks.
