“The large-scale use of virgin paper contributes to unnecessary deforestation. “

So, PLANT TREES!

What idiots.

Muslims never give you their left hand, it’s for wiping their butts. You want to start WW3, just shake hands with your left.

As illustrated in Venezuela, one of the triumphs of socialism is that the problem of lack of toilet paper is diminished by the lack of food.

Don’t most people put their used toilet paper in with the weekly recyclables?

“The majority of us use just once”

I’d like to meet these people who use toilet paper over and over.

I wouldn’t shake hands with them, though.

Well, once they have us deplorables eating maggots, perhaps we won’t continue to consider toilet paper a necessity.

"unnecessary deforestation"

Trees are a agriculture crop.

Here is a dirty little secret. It cost more energy to recycle paper- someone has to collect it, process it, etc.... . However, almost all trees in America that is cut for paper was planted to be paper. Also since paper is biodegradable, put it in the landfill.

We had a Biden for eight years and it seems like he left a lot of crap.

What a load of .. wait for it ... Crap.

Pulpwood trees are a renewable resource. It’s less expensive than recycling. They try to make it sound like we’re cutting down ancient Redwoods or something.

OK, I’m going to get really gross and personal now, but not obscene, so stop reading if you think you’ll be offended.

I was born with a somewhat irregularly shaped anal orifice that has always required more cleaning, toilet paper, and cleansing wipes consumption than the Greenies would appreciate. About a year ago I finally got sick of all that and installed a bidet on one of my toilets for about $100. WONDER, JOY, AND GLORY it solved most of my intimate cleansing problem, eliminated all my use of toilet paper and much of my use of the wipes. When its stream hits the perfect spot, it feels like I just blasted myself with a mini pressure washer.

Moral of the story: if you want to get really clean and drastically reduce TP use get a bidet. BTW I’m a man and this applies as well, or better, to most women.
