What will they think of next? They don’t want us using incandescent light bulbs, instead they want us to use flourescent light bulbs. You know – the lightbulbs that, if broken, require you to wear a hazmat suit to clean up.
Now they’re coming after your toilet paper. I don’t know about you, but I like soft toilet paper. Despite the germs, there’s nothing worse than public restrooms with thin, scratchy toilet paper. Soft toilet paper is one of life’s little luxuries that most of us don’t think twice about. Even Scott Tissue had to upgrade and offer a softer alternative.
“This is a product that we use for less than three seconds and the ecological consequences of manufacturing it from trees is enormous,” said Allen Hershkowitz, a senior scientist at the Natural Resources Defence Council.
“Future generations are going to look at the way we make toilet paper as one of the greatest excesses of our age. Making toilet paper from virgin wood is a lot worse than driving Hummers in terms of global warming pollution.” Making toilet paper has a significant impact because of chemicals used in pulp manufacture and cutting down forests.
A campaign by Greenpeace seeks to raise consciousness among Americans about the environmental costs of their toilet habits and counter an aggressive new push by the paper industry giants to market so-called luxury brands.
Do you think they’re trying to “raise conciousness among Americans” or among members of Congress? How long will it take before Charmin and Cottonelle are outlawed forever?
While you’re stocking up on those incandescent bulbs you may want to add Charmin to your list.
Just bought the 24 roll of Ultra Charmin Ultra Soft. True, one of life’s guilty pleasures and I can talk about it in church, do not have ask forgiveness either.
I have decided to call them “nature nazis.” How’s that?

They are never gonna get my toilet paper. Cottonelle–4Ever.
I’m already, believe it or not, stocking up on that. At least two year’s worth. And unlike the libs, this means figuring out the average life span of one roll and going from there…
Walgreens stores are great for things like toilet paper & other sundries–when I see a deal, I snap it up. My goal is to be able to be relatively comfortable until The One leaves town…. Potty Nazis!

Oh, no. It ain’t happening. Nobody’s taking away my toilet paper. I guess I’ll add that to the list of things I need to stock up on. I’ll jot it down right under bullets.

The current POTUS/TOTUS is the greenest president ever!
He no longer needs toilet tissue, he uses renewable resources.
These resources are the tongues of Stewart, Colbert, Olbermann,
Matthews, et al.
It’s great the prez no longer needs to wipe.
