The group believes that elevating consumer awareness of what should and should not be flushed, combined with resonsible labeling of products that could inappropriately be flushed, are both important elements of addressing these problems. 0 0 The Responsible Flushing Alliance educates consumers and key stakeholders about smart flushing habits through its #FlushSmart program. #FlushSmart promotes healthy homes and communities by helping to prevent sewer clogs by not flushing items not intended to be flushed. The Organization also promotes the "Do Not Flush" symbol that is prominently found on the back of wipes products meant for disposal in a trash can. The Organization created the "Clog Monster" as a vehicle to remind people to not use the toilet as a trash can. A California specific program called Flush Smart California expressly focuses on educating Californians on proper flushing habits. 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 9 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 X 15 15 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 X Ms Lara Wyss 2064874570 1143 M Luther King Jr Way 165 Seattle WA 98122 X Lara Wyss President 40.00 X 0 0 0 Becky Johnson Kimberly-Clark Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Mike Fitzgerald Albaad Vice Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Alvaro Timotheo Andritz Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Heidi Beatty Dude Products Inc.; Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Bonnie Grady Essity Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ellen Grimes First Quality Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kelley Buchanan Glatfelter (formerly Jacob Holm); Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Homer Swei Johnson Johnson Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Richard Reid Kelheim Fibres Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Eric Wellinghoff Nehemiah Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mike Lyons Nice-Pak Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mandy Ciccarcella Proctor Gamble; Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Aaron Bartgis Rockline Industries; Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Martyn Davis Sellars Nonwovens Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kyra Dorsey Suominen Corp Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Daniel J Edelman Inc 21992 Network Place Chicago IL 60673 Consulting / Promotion 291265 LaraPR 725 Martin Luther King Jr Way Seattle WA 98122 Management services 177000 2 699622 699622 699622 0 0 0 144000 43000 8260 359563 9283 13438 483 4749 3158 450 586384 12633 78471 42553 49000 9475 3158 9475 6317 64661 133788 47279 5168 2000 49279 5168 X 6182 -39780 9200 168400 15382 128620 64661 133788 113238 0 X 0 1 X 0 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1 0 9475 3158 6317 6317 X 925893 226271 226271 699622 0 699622 797273 210889 210889 586384 0 586384 Part X, Line 2: The Organization reviews and assesses all activities annually to identify any changes in the scope of the activities and revenue sources and the tax treatment thereof to identify any uncertainty in income tax.
