American taste for soft toilet roll is worse than driving Hummers
Josiah Jenkins
environmental devastation than the country's love of gas-guzzling
cars, fast food or McMansions, according to green campaigners.
At fault, they say, is the US public's insistence on extra-soft,
quilted and multi-ply products when they use the bathroom.
"Making toilet paper from virgin wood is a lot worse than driving
Hummers in terms of global warming pollution."
"There is this myth in the US that recycled is just so low quality,
it's like cardboard and is impossible to use," said Lindsey Allen,
the forestry campaigner of Greenpeace.
"America is now a land of wussies. It's not so long ago that people
were content to recycle newspaper and catalogue pages for this
purpose. Nowadays they want soft, soft, soft."

And what do you enlightened Scots use, sand paper?
Probably.
It would take sand paper to remove the encrusted doodoo one finds around the
average Scotch orifice.
Anyway, on behalf of Americans everywhere, I do thank you for your pithy
observations.

Well you people do insist on wearing those short kilts and no underwear.
And I am assuming what you display to the world is not a groundhog, kept
under there for warmth in the winter.

Loo-roll is made primarily from Picea sitchensis - which is the main
commercial crop in the UK and is grown absolutely sustainably.
Not only that but the profits (probably non-existant these days I'll grant
you) that were made from this crop, following tax and government incentive
grant reforms in 1987, made it economicably feasible to plant countless
millions of native hardwood species around the plantation borders and
astride access roads to said crop and on vast areas of land removed from
agricultural production.
Using recycled paper lowers the market price for Picea sitchensis pulpwood
and has led to less native species being planted as a consequence.
Yet another reason to annihilate Islam.

Am I to assume then that paper for the wiping of butts is a major Brit
export item?

I can remember once when one of the chief complaints of returning American
tourists was the rolls of cheap, scratchy cardboard the Yurps furnished with
their "Loo's".
Apparently, across the pond, one is not a man (or woman) unless one can
endure the agony of a daily rump scouring.

Izal medicated toilet paper is produced from a renewable resource.
Not for the feint hearted, this toilet paper has been manufactured for many,
many years. Be in no doubt that this is not in any way soft like modern
toilet papers. Izal reminds us of the "tracing paper" style toilet paper you
used to find in school. Many people still use this as their toilet paper of
choice, however we sell it more as a novelty than anything else. We at the
Carbolic Soap Co. pride ourselves on testing all products before we sell
them so we can give an honest opinion on how the product performs, however
we have had to draw the line on this one!

We used that one.
It's surprisingly soft when crumpled and recrumpled between the hands.
The printer's ink, however, might give your proctologist a start.

I read once that toilet papers have to friable when wet to
disperse into the sewage system. Pages of telephone books,
cut-up pages of 'The Economist', onion-skin pages of the
average bible, rags, or even dried grass ten to clog up the
tubes and cause the toilet to back up.

I've experienced outhouses with catalogues, corncobs, etc.
My first visit to Scotland was immediately after Christmas several
years ago, so I packed a roll of toilet paper that had cartoon-like
Santa Claus faces all over it and exchanged it for the plain
stuff..........saying nothing about it. The family I was visiting
didn't think it was as funny as I did. In fact, I think they probably
thought I had a warped sense of humour. :(
