Environmentalists Target Toilet Paper

How many of these so-called environmentalists actually have clothesline at home?

If Kevin Costners character in Dances With Wolves had shown up 10 minutes earlier, the movie would have been called Wiping With Leaves.

This guy continues to get it wrong. He continues to say that we are chopping down ancient forests to make toilet paper. This is simply untrue. He continues to mix up “virgin pulp” and “virgin forests”, as if they are interchangeable terms.

I don’t know if this guy is just a moron or if he is being intentionally deceitful, but he is wrong. The virgin fiber that is used in the vast majority of tissue production in the US is made from farmed trees.

As P.J. O’Rourke said, “You might as well have a save the corn campaign.”

Exactly. Old growth timber is far too valuable to flush down the toilet especially when cheaper, faster growing farmed trees are a far better source that require far less processing.

LOL!

OK I’m now an informed consumer. I choose cottenelle with Aloe, because MY bottom is worth it.

We must guard our tissue supply.

The enviros insist that we recycle our paper and paperboard(don't worry, I'm not going where you think)

Recycle goes into beaters, bleachers, batchers, blenders, dryers and packagers to end as a useful, friendly product.

There is not a lot of bulk to toilet tissue. Once it it becomes wet it quickly disintegrates and biodegrades. What is left actually helps in the effluent treatment process.

What the guy really wants is to put an end to the fine companies that provide paper goods, like Proctor and Gamble, Georga-Pacific and etc. Plastic bags replaced paper bags at the the super markets and all the other stores, which no doubt had a lot to do with with enviro-nuts and look at the mess that has made.

They can have my toilet paper when they pry it from my cold dead hands.

The White House can go toilet paper free. Thousands of liberals will line up to clean the zero for free.

The ecofreaks are welcome to use their hands, shirts, undershorts, tongues, whatever to clean their bums.

I'll continue to use TP.

I had the misfortune of listening to Daryll Hannah(spelling?) spew her filth this morning on F’nF, lying through her teeth about the coal industry and saying that we need to shut down coal plants and focus on new technology, saying “it will create millions of jobs”.

No shit. It will also cost millions of people in the coal industry their jobs. So it doesn’t create anything but problems and misplaced workers.

I wish these eco freaks would STFU. I’ve had it up to HERE with their lies and progaganda.
