Doesn’t this make him an a$$wipe, as opposed to a nutjob? ;-P
“The reason, they say, is that plush U.S. toilet paper is usually made by chopping down and grinding up trees that were decades or even a century old.”
This is BS. Trees for paper products are grown just like any other crop. Definitely not old growth stuff.
I actually brought a roll of toilet paper home from the old Soviet Union to show people because I couldn’t believe anyone could use such a thing. I’m sure that’s what they have in mind - recycled Starbucks cups with the consistency of sandpaper.
Is there not one, single aspect of our lives they can let be? When I am queen, I will impose a new rule: you object to something, such as soft toilet paper, internal combustion engines, coal-generated power, etc., you no longer have access to that technology, and are required by law to return to the earlier, more environmentally sound technology of corn cobs and leaves, walking or horse-drawn carriages, kerosene lanterns or go to bed at sunset, and no heat in your home.
Actually, most is made from Southern pines and Douglas firs which are farmed trees.
What’s their address? Great time of year to send them dried corncobs. We’ll keep the soft stuff and the water, THEY can use the corncobs and the privy.
What’s next from these people?
The Three Shells gag from the Stallone movie Demolition Man?
So then we get hemorrhoids and need medical treatment with increased health care costs???
Environmental groups invest in corn cobs thinking of way to force sales of said items.
