It’s insane how much cleaner the air has been in cities around the world.
Obviously we can’t just stop.
I remember one time when I visited friends in Seattle on the Saturday and Sunday after a Thanksgiving. All the industries and much of the driving had been shutdown for four days, when I got up at daybreak to take a run down the Ship Canal and around the U of W campus. The sky was bright, the air clean and you could see all the Cascade and Olympic peaks glistening in the rising sun. Mt. St. Helens had not blown her top yet and it was fully visible. It was glorious and even smelled fresh and good. Will we ever clean up our bad pollution habits, so that every day would be like that?
We have a popular place for hikers in Eugene, Spencer's Butte, south of town. When I was a kid, you could clearly see the city of Salem from the top, 70 miles away. Nowadays, you're lucky to get a hazy view of Junction City, about 20 miles distant.
Think of this as a dry run for going green. The world is cleaner and we're running out of toilet paper. Lol
One of the problems that the toilet paper shortage has created is jammed sewer lines. People are flushing down wipes and other things that are clogging the system across the country, even tissue as a substitute doesn't work well. The backups have cause increased spills into water ways not to mention backups in their own homes.

Sewage systems and toilets are backing up as consumers clean their homes with disinfectant wipes and turn to paper towels, napkins and baby wipes to cope with the lack of toilet paper.

Mass death from a virus is hardly fun. Doesnt this prove that the people who said that economy over there is still on lock down and that the virus is out of control there were wrong?
Toilet paper is not clogging sewer lines. No one is using 'more' they're buying more.
China is the problem on so many fronts. Air quality, contaminated farm land, tainted food, 3rd world health care.... etc. Just look at their short history under communist rule and the MILLIONS of people they've killed and are killing.
The communist Chinese government is the world locusts. We must rid ourselves of the disease called communist China. They commit genocide as an economic tool.
Long live the Chinese people! Long Live Hong Kong! The Republic of China (Taiwan) is the legitimate government and should be recognized. Throw communist china out of the WTO.
Paper towels are sturdier than toilet paper, so if you're forced to substitute them, you can use less and still get the job done. The trick is to not put too much of paper towels in the toilet at one time.

If you have a septic system with tanks and a drain field or sand mound you'll kill it with paper towels.
People we are not running out of Toilet tissue. We just have people hoarding it. The same factories that made Charmin and Scott, 3 months ago are hammer down making it as I type. Those mills run 24/7 and are producing tens of thousands of cases a day.
Yeah, move all the manufacturing jobs back to the US, so air pollution can move back here too.
Hint: as long as there is manufacturing, there must be pollution.

Manufacturing produces a by product or waste, this is true, but not all or any MUST uncontrollably enter the environment.
