Could YOU live without toilet paper? Meet the women who choose to wipe with a reusable piece..
UK Daily Mail ^ | January 28, 2014 | Margot Peppers

For most Americans, toilet paper is an absolutely necessary grocery list item, but some women are opting out for both economic and environmental purposes. In a HuffPost Live discussion, bloggers Angela Davis, Kathleen Quiring and Makala Earley explain why they've decided to go paperless, revealing that it's not as messy or unhygienic as it may sound. 'It is definitely possible,' insists Mikala, who says she and her husband stopped using toilet paper about a year ago. 'It is almost seen as a necessity [and] it doesn't have to be, and it's been a lot of fun to learn how to do it this way.'

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think this freak has her own T.V. show on Nickelodeon or something.

Then you’d sure better not think about the fact they wash their used toilet rags in their washer. The same place they wash all their other clothes. gee doesn’t that towel smell soooo good.


Funny; just recently the DailyMail ran several articles about contamination from today's lower wash temperatures and gentler detergent:

How washing machines can put your family's health at risk
"Professor Sally Bloomfield, of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, wants a campaign to educate consumers in laundry hygiene. ‘We need to launder clothing in a way that renders them not just visually clean, but hygienically clean — the two are not the same,’ she says. Her concerns are backed by a German study on clothes contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus, linked to skin and urinary tract infections, as well as pneumonia. Researchers found the only way to eradicate the bacterium was with temperatures of 40c [104f] and above combined with a detergent containing bleach..."

Is your LAUNDRY making you ill? 30°C cycles breed bacteria and transfer germs from your underwear to tea towels
"Bacteria lurking inside washing machines can also be responsible for cross-contamination: 'Studies have shown that a build-up of bacteria in the interior of the washing machine transfers to the wash water of subsequent cycles – with as many as one million bacteria found in just two tablespoons of wash water..."

Civilized countries invented the current toilet practices for a reason: they’re civilized.

If a wild-eyed liberal baby face wants to go back centuries to primitive days, let her, but I will not be anywhere around her.

This is like the ‘poop in the woods’ crowd. Or the ‘babies without diapers’ crowd. (Take the baby to the curb - just like a dog)

So if they want to save energy, they have to run their poopy wash at high temps and use disinfectant and bleach at home, instead of using nice pre-bleached toilet paper from a bulk-production industry that probably already has "green" (i.e. cost-reducing) ways of recycling both bleach and water. The paper goes into the municipal system that makes mulch and fertilizer out of the sludge and sells it, thereby offsetting some costs to the taxpayers.

When they put these existing industries out of work, there will be more panhandlers in the cities pooping on the sidewalk. Sorta defeats the purpose. It's the circle of life.... la la la la lah..

For these gals, one up, one down, one to polish is all it takes.Next they’ll try to clean as a cat or dog does, if you get what I mean.

I love it! It's "green" because it's storage, insulation and sound-proofing all in one! And -- you can store your grooming items in the little holes.... LOL!

Maybe that’s the reason the new washing machines have a ‘sanitize’ cycle on them. Mine does. lol

They are nothing but Luddites Luddites

Truly.

People talk about "Computers", or "Airplanes", or "Medicine"....etc etc etc as being the hallmark of an advanced civilization.

I'd say the mark of an advanced civilzation is "Clean water, well-developed sanitation, and good hygiene". Because a high mortality rate from dysentry makes everything else pretty hard to achieve.

Angela Davis appears to be a dirty hippie

Dirty old criminal commie hippie, in fact, whose appearance is being advertised on this poster AT MY ALMA MATER.

She's of the same ilk as Bill Ayers and, like him, has used her worthlessness and loathing for America to live an easy, prosperous, vile life in our midst.

(p.s. If I ever had a thought of leaving anything to the U of North Dakota, the thought has perished, long before me.)

That's called "playing the cello" around these parts...

I'm sure that someone makes a brand that is unbleached and has a few cockle burrs in it, just to make the Greens feel good when they scratch themselves.

I remember toilet paper they had on the trains in Germany. I visited there in 1986. The paper was unbleached grey, and still had little bits of wood chips in it. I guess the chips were there for extra cleaning...
