#32: Toilet Paper Is Changing
There was one Seinfeld episode where Goerge said that toilet paper never changes. That may have been true in the nineties, but it’s no longer the case today. If you decide to stick with toilet paper, you can still reduce your waste. We aren’t talking about going crazy and using reusable cloth (because that’s a little icky), but you can reduce some of the plastic and maybe even some of the paper.
While the toilet paper itself doesn’t have a lot of plastic, it is usually bundled in a big plastic package. Also, the paper causes thousands of trees to be chopped down every year. There are now companies that sell toilet paper without the plastics or use better, more environmentally-friendly materials such as recycled fibers or bamboo.
