So dig a hole and put water and ZRidX if you want eco friendly. In a month you will not find any toilet paper or anything that looks like Poo.Wouldn't even smell. What you want to bet your waster treatment plant uses similar bacteria.

I think you accidentally picked up the re-used toilet paper...next to the dirty tissues

No, I but the cheapest toilet paper, and i don't really care.

If the world wants us all to use these "green products" they should be cheaper, not more expensive.

It's the same with healthy drinks, the Pomegranite juice is 5 bucks a bottle, where Fanta soda is 59 cents....now if you are poor.........whattadya do???

I'm starting to suspect that planet Earth is not our natural home. It is so aggressive towards the human race, it feels to me like somewhere in time our race was in total danger ( from an outside source such as an asteroid or other species) in the perfect world we lived in, that we were ditched on this makeshift planet as a last attempt to keep the human race alive.


Therefore we have to think about things that are completely pointless, such as saving the planet and what our next meal will be, and...working.

No, it hurts. I do not like my ass bleed because of toalet paper. When they make it softer I buy it then.

Another misguided tree hugging idea. If it costs more, which it does, assume that greater resources have been consumed to bring it to your store shelves and that, by definition it is "eco destructive" as opposed to eco friendly. Of course it is possible to pay more for an item that does not consume more resources than a cheaper one, but it is unlikely (and stupid).

As a fashion accessory in, say, Marin County, it may make sense but for people serious about the planet, it is just plain silly.
