What are you wiping with?

"All of the five biggest European tissue manufacturers - Procter and Gamble, SCA, Kimberly Clark, Metsa Tissue and Georgia Pacific - were found not to be offering enough recycled content in their toilet paper, towels and napkins. SCA Tissue, which makes Velvet, came out top and Procter & Gamble, which makes Charmin and Bounty, came fourth."

This is so out of order! I always buy stuff that says it is recycled.

And so do many but not enough consumers take enough interest in the products origins, they are mesmerised by fancy packaging and dazzled by advertising, especially cute puppies!

Just joking - I heard on the news that 1/2 billion trees are used per day worldwide in toilet paper form. I can't remember if they said daily (as that sound like a bloody lot of trees).

I'm all for recycling, come here tree *HUG*
