You just can't satisfy some people.

Since I've never heard of Paseo brand TP, I looked it up on the internet. I suspect it's a Pacific brand (probably Australia, New Zealand, etc) as the website uses Brit spellings and compares land area to "soccer pitches."

It does talk quite a bit about its use of "sustainable" sources; in other words, they aren't just going in and chopping down forest, but they are replanting and seem to be trying their darndest to be "responsible" and environmentally friendly.

Of course, quite a few "environmentalists" will never be happy with anything that provides any benefits whatsoever to humans; they want us all back in the Stone Age and would probably prefer most people in that area be tiger food.

As an “expert” on this subject (I was in the paper business for 35 years) this article leaves a lot to be challenged. Pretty much all the retail TP sold in the US is produced by 3 or 4 American companies. China has sent TP over here over the last few years but not retail. It is very hard to imagine someone is making TP from old grow forest or even clearing it for that use.
