American taste for soft toilet roll 'worse than driving Hummers'

Extra-soft, quilted and multi-ply toilet roll made from virgin forest causes more damage than gas-guzzlers, fast food or McMansions, say campaigners

A toilet roll in a public toilet

The tenderness of the delicate American buttock is causing more environmental devastation than the country's love of gas-guzzling cars, fast food or McMansions, according to green campaigners. At fault, they say, is the US public's insistence on extra-soft, quilted and multi-ply products when they use the bathroom.

"This is a product that we use for less than three seconds and the ecological consequences of manufacturing it from trees is enormous," said Allen Hershkowitz, a senior scientist at the Natural Resources Defence Council.

"Future generations are going to look at the way we make toilet paper as one of the greatest excesses of our age. Making toilet paper from virgin wood is a lot worse than driving Hummers in terms of global warming pollution." Making toilet paper has a significant impact because of chemicals used in pulp manufacture and cutting down forests.

A campaign by Greenpeace seeks to raise consciousness among Americans about the environmental costs of their toilet habits and counter an aggressive new push by the paper industry giants to market so-called luxury brands.

More than 98% of the toilet roll sold in America comes from virgin forests, said Hershkowitz. In Europe and Latin America, up to 40% of toilet paper comes from recycled products. Greenpeace this week launched a cut-out-and-keep ecological ranking of toilet paper products.

Look out.. BHO will have to raise the luxury TP tax to offset the damage to the forests.

I can come up with some ways that they could help me not need toilet paper...




They could kiss my butt at the same time too.

I wander what Greenpeace would think if they knew I carried an unlicensed STIHL in my pickup on weekends.

Environmentalist "new-speak" fascinates me.

I did the grocery shopping today and was looking at chicken when an employee ask me if I were interested in organic chicken.  I told me I surely didn't want to eat an in-organic one.

"Virgin trees"?  [STOP:  Avoid the obvious sexual innuendos, here.]   How does one even find "used" trees?  There's used paper and used lumber, but "used" trees?   There are re-cycled products but they don't come from "used" trees.

They would b!tch if we wiped our a$$e$ with old pine cones. (maybe THOSE are used trees ? )

[Big Frank]

I could quit using toilet paper altogether and Greenpeace can kiss my crusty a$$.
