On this CTV spot, Norton explains to residents that women's washroom stalls do not contain trash cans, so that menstrual products (and flushable wipes and incontinence products) are being flushed out of necessity. This is substantially increasing the risk of flooding for all, and the costs of operating our sewer systems. This material ends up at the WWTP and must be trucked to the landfill.
Norton has frequently been Published in "Environmental Science and Engineering" Industry Magazine
Barbara's esteemed colleagues at ES&E have long been staunch supporters of Norton's work
