I buy the Scott 1,000 sheet rolls for my household, we don’t need puffy squishy paper.
However I will defend the free market right to buy such paper.
There’s too much soft toilet paper out there. I haven’t found a TP I like since they added quilting to Scotts to disguise their short-sheeting....
Let ‘em have sandpaper.
I’d be happy to send my used toilet paper to the White Hut so the first family can re-use it. Just doing my part for the environment!
I say grind up enviromentalists and make them into toilet paper.
I’d happily make use of that product.
These people surely are Satan’s minions!
I was told by a friend who experienced the Castro takeover, that a good early sign of Marxism is that normal TP disappears.
Recycling aside, toilet paper does a terrible job of cleaning the backside. Using a bidet, handheld sprayer, or other washing system is way more hygenic.
This is not about the environment, it is about power.
If this was the 1890s when industries did not care what harm was done to their local environment, these people may have had a point. They have won that battle. We have more than enough environmental laws on the books, we are not going back to those bad old days.
Environmentalist have managed to turn our once mighty industrial nation into a shadow of it’s former self. In some cases it has made it too expensive to do anything.
Enough already.
Man made global warming is a hoax. We have crippled our self by giving up on known energy sources (oil and coal).
We can drill for oil without destroying the world, and we can use these energy sources without polluting the air.
It is not about the ecology, it is about power and control.
Currently they are in charge and our nation is paying a steep price. It is not going to be pretty when this all comes to a crashing end.

I’ll pass on the “John Wayne” paper, thanks. Give me my nice soft Cottonelle, any day of the week.
Recycled paper requires quite a bit of energy and processing. You know they have to get the staples out if it is used for toilet tissue. Because the fiber is shorter the mills have to add acrylic polymers to keep everything together. Also it requires more paper to do the same job that virgin tissue does.
For each tree that is cut one or more gets planted in its place. No big deal.
Ha-Ha!!!, very cheeky.
The spousal unit bought some of that stuff once....it can only be described as nasty and like 600 grit sandpaper.
How about we breed or GM modify Corn plants to have longer fibers that are usable in TP. There is a lot of cornstalks that could be used to make paper each year!!!
Corn, is there anything it cannot do?
