If Global Warming is such an important issue, then environmentalists can "walk the walk" of the "talk they talk" by stop using TOILET PAPER.
Think about it.
One has to cut down trees to create toilet paper. These trees will gulp up CO2 and produce Oxygen.
Sewage treatment plants will have less "solid waste" to deal with -- the toilet paper.
There will be less plastic (or paper) to wrap the toilet paper for selling at supermarkets/stores.
They could use the money saved from needing to use toilet paper to plant "memorial trees" to the trees that have cut down in the past for "toilet paper". (This is more sarcasm than anything else, but there are members of the environmental movement that might consider this a great thing to do with money saved...)
Additionally, there will be fewer jobs, so less money spent on gasoline (no jobs, no money, no car).
But there is one drawback: one would have to be careful when shaking hands with an enviornmentalist. If you see BROWN on the hands/fingernails, you might want to make an excuse not to shaking hands...

The Muslims have a strict rule not to sake a person with their left hand, unless they intend to insult a person. The "left hand handshake" is used for "removing" that brown stuff...
This might be one FreeRepublic article that might be full of cr@p, if not about it...
Pardon the vanity...
Where is Vice-president Bidet on this issue?
I demand taxpayer dollars be used for bidets in every home, shack, trailer, treehouse, public restroom and shanty across the land!
Dorks.
Um...and in case the EnviroWeenies missed it; TREES ARE CROPS just like corn or soybean or tomatoes.
*Rolleyes*
Aren’t they smelly enough?
And while they’re at it, maybe babies should stop wearing diapers, women can stop using sanitary napkins and tampons, and the incontinent can stop wearing Depends;-)
Actually, once you have used a bidet for a while, most people prefer it to TP.
First of all, it does get you cleaner, and that is the most important thing. If your underwear gets railroad tracks on it regularly, TP isn’t doing its job.
Second, it saves a LOT of TP. This isn’t just money down the drain, but some popular TPs like Charmin are loaded with oil, and tend to clog pipes, which most plumbers will tell you. So using less might save you a whopping plumbing bill.
Third, not using a lot of TP cuts down on irritation, which really matters when you need to get clean, but are already irritated. Much like “Kleenex nose” when you have a cold.
An ordinary enema bag works fine as an expedient bidet, hung up next to the toilet.
Don’t talk to loudly. I have heard a liberal advocate just that - no TP or 1 tp tissue per event. TP Rationing, now there is an idea that will win some elections - not. But their insanity will lead them to mandate it for all except those employed by the federal and state governments.
And cools the hemoroids down at the same time?
Do you wash your hands with no water and a dry paper towel?
Were I am at it’s hose it down and no TP available at the local type toilets. Squat type with a bucket of water to replace TP.
If the enviro-wackos stop using toilet paper what’s the difference—they are already full of shit.
My friend has one of those Japanese toilets with the bidet action built right in. It even has different buttons for men and women.
