Americans use more toilet paper than anyone else in the world, helping destroy the habitats of native people who live where it is sourced and contributing to global warming, a research study said on Wednesday.
U.S. consumers use roughly three rolls of toilet paper a week, accounting for a fifth of the world's tissue consumption, according to the report by environmental groups Stand.earth and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).
Single-use tissue products such as toilet paper used in the United States are made from wood pulp, mostly derived from logging in the old-growth northern, or boreal, forest in Canada, where logging companies clear-cut more than a million acres (405,000 hectares) every year, the NRDC said.

DeleteThere should be an environmental tax on TP that women use, as they use 3-4 times (or more, depending on the time of month) the TP that men use. Households should be taxed according to how many women reside there. Men should not be penalized for the excessive use of TP by women. Not "PC"? Too bad. It's the truth.
ReplyDelete11:08 wants another tax, we are taxed to the max now. Got to be a Snowflake
DeleteSometimes the truth hurts
ReplyDeleteCorncobs! That's all you need! Good enough for grandpa, good enough for you!
ReplyDeleteNew housing should come with a bidet.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they're also counting newspapers like the Daily Times.
ReplyDeleteIf someone would make and sell hillary, nancy, chuck, or comey toilet paper, I would the hell out of it. Probably wipe my butt every half hour or more.

DeleteDave T: I've got the answer to this problem - straight up - Just use the latest legislation from our stupid politicians on all levels. The product of their great efforts will make your current toilet paper obsolete. Can' think of a paper source more abundant or fitting to take over the role.
ReplyDeleteWow that much TP. I can only imagine how much methane gas were producing. Soon we’ll be ordered to wear the “cow methane gas collecting backpack”. Or at least the Fed’s should order Taco bell & Chili’s restaurants to provide “gas backpacks” for their customers.
ReplyDeleteSend me the addresses of these wackos. Id be happy to send my used tp to them so they can use it and cut down on waste.
ReplyDeleteI will utilize what is necessary, no more no less.
ReplyDelete11:08 AM - Let me guess, you're single.

ReplyDeleteYou obviously don't know the cost of TP, and are not the one that purchases it for your family.

ReplyDeleteUnable to comprehend sarcasm?
I get more unless mail from the gov than can possibly use in toilet paper. DNR, DOT, MD HEALTH DEPT , FDA, NOAA, EPA, OSHA, MOSHA, LABOR , WORK COMP, IRS,MD DEPT OF EVERYTHING. 99% is useless info or 30 more laws that I don't have time to read. Pass a law where these have to be made out of tissue paper so we can put them to good use!
ReplyDeleteWe can crap on the sidewalk like California does.
ReplyDeleteWhy does Canada allow clear cutting forests without replanting. A million acres a year?
ReplyDeleteYou know America has gone to hell when you can't Wipe
ReplyDeleteyour ass in peace & even that right is being taken away !!!
Wow 11:08, you could be the woman's potty police since apparently you spend so much time watching them pee. Where did you hide the cameras and did you have to dress up in woman's clothes to hide them?
