MDMA Is Killing Trees + 4 Other Ways We’re Trashing The Planet ─ VICE

Extinction Update is an environmental alarm clock that investigates some of the ways in which we're destroying our planet. We'll see how illicit drugs waste is killing trees, just how bad it is to flush condoms, sanitary towels and wet wipes down the toilet, how our forests are impacted by ever increasing fires, and how air pollution is so harmful to children it could even mutate our DNA. We also get some tips for how we can all help unfuck the planet.

And if you watch the whole thing you will also enjoy a wet wipe flying through space.
